Need some 904 trans help

Yup its embarrassing. But in my defense I did let the car run for about 20 mins in neutral while I added the fluid in and I was under the assumption that I would only need what I took out since it had been full (another mistake) and not wanting to overfill when added in the 6th qt and it said full I really thought that was it. I also didn't take into account the fluid in the lines or the radiator that I blew out before putting in the new lines. I guess it took awhile to get the fluid to all the places it needed to be. I happily take this humiliation over dropping that transmission.

Happens to the best of us. :D
One thing about checking trans fluid is that it gets fluid on the stick just from it going down the tube when fluid has been added and can trick ya.
I always dip it three times in a row very quickly in and back out, as well as check both sides of the stick.
Then I'm pretty sure it's accurate if it reads the same all three times.

One thing that helped was I twisted the very tip of the dipstick so it doesn't slide a flat side down the inside of the tube when it goes in and pick up a bunch of fluid on it.

This isn't my trans stick but it shows the twist idea over a flat stick.
