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

Can anybody think of any potential problems with
overfilling the
transmission fluid (i.e. above the fill hole)?
