Wes, Never a very good idea to overfill as it can put added pressure on the seals. The gears spin and kicks the oil. Too much oil can cause too much pressure. If you have filled on level ground you are ok. If you have overfilled with the van at a slant. Might want to double check on the level. If Daryl is reading I would hope he might lubricate us with his ideas. gary Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 23:05:38 -0500 From: Wesley Alden Pegden <wes@CS.UCHICAGO.EDU> Subject: Overfilling transmission fluid. Can anybody think of any potential problems with overfilling the transmission fluid (i.e. above the fill hole)? -wes '84 vanagon
