Transmission a little over filled

Hello my transmission fluid is a little over filled could I drive it till tomorrow afternoon

 

AT or MT?
how much over? approximately

 

Auto and about were my thumb nail is

 

Guessing it's no good

 

Somebody please

 

Is the photo from when the fluid is hot or cold?

If it's cold in the picture it will expand when heated and rise up the stick. Some issues with overfilling are slow shifting, overheating caused by foaming of the fluid, as well as higher internal pressures which could cause leaks.

How far are you driving? Are you towing? Are you driving up hills? If you take it easy you should be find until tomorrow.

 

I'm driving about 30 miles in stop and go traffic and its a little over the full line after i had it running for about 20 minutes

 

When I take out some should it be between the both hot marks when on idle or the very last mark for the hot marks on the top ??/

 

Ideally you want the fluid at the top of the last notch of "Hot" you have two notchs of hot and two of cold. If your at the top notch or slightly over that wont hurt it. If your between half the top notch and bottom "hot" notch thats roughly half a quart maybe little less. Hope this helps.

 

Yes you can drive on it. As long as it’s not really over filled you’re fine. My auto trans was slipping and without draining out fluid I added a quart of Lucas slip additive and it actually worked and I’ve been driving it with a quart over filled for 6-8months now. I also keep an eye on my trans temps every time I drive and they stay around 185ish. Unless I’m in stop and go sometimes they can get to 200 but I also have 33” tires, and a topper, and bumper. And on a 95* Florida day doesn’t help.
So to answer your question, yes you can drive your truck, it doesn’t seem very overfilled if it is.

 

standard fluid check is warm

with handbrake in drive

 

I always heard with engine running and transmission in Park.....

 

Yes it needs to be running to get a accurate reading

 

diff levels in park ............or in drive

while i know it has happened..........will happen

a little extra in drive never hurt anything

most not needed under load simply stays in the pan

thats Not to say one should over fill

 

I’m jealous you have a dip stick.
