Need help,Is there a way to remove some trasmission fliud without removing the pan.The dip stick shows the fliud level pass the word MAX on the stick.I need to bring it down.Thanks in advance for any sugestions.

 

when i put my trans in i but to much fluid in, so i took one of the cooler line loose and had a buddy crank the truck and i held a bucket and caught the fluid only way i could think of

 

I thought there was a drain plug, but I can't remember now

 

No drain plug. How far past max does it read?

 

that is prob the best way to do it

 

If its just a little past MAX its not going to hurt it.

 

no, it is not.

go to northern tool, they have a MityVac Siphon for $15.

i would recommend getting it out ASAP.

I overfilled mine, and it started doing the stuttuttuuuttuuuuttterrreer shift,

and i pulled some out, but it still stuutututers.

Its fine, don't worry unless your seeing fluid coming out the breather and onto the ground under the truck. You can run the trans 1-2 quarts over full depending on how the stick is marked and its a good thing. Extra fluid is always a plus.

 

The fliud level goes past the word MAX up to the loop bend on the dip stick.The manual states not to overfill the trans because it will shorten its lifespan.I dont want to bring it back to the dodge dealer because they are the ones who overfill it.I will never go there again.If I can do it myself,thats what I will do.Its a shame that you can not trust the Dodge dealers,I have had too many bad experiances with them.But I will be force to use them on warranty work only.

 

Probably not a problem, but siphon it out if it make you feel more comfortable.

 

A big syringe (Auto parts/motorsports stores have them for mixing 2-stroke oil) and some clear plastic tubing (available at a hardware store) is the cheapest and easiest solution I found. Just suck it out the dipstick tube.
