Possible tranny damage?

With the engine shut off and trans. full the dipstick will read approx. 1 qt. overfull so that's where I fill dry transmissions to start with. Then start it and run it through the gears and check it again in neutral and fill as needed to the "add" mark leaving room for expansion when it warms up. Remember torqueflites only pump when in neutral so they have to be checked in neutral.

That's good to know, also explains why it seemed to be leaking a lot faster in neutral. I repaired the line but I have to go pick up more transmission fluid to fill it up. You guys were right about it making a big mess if it leaked all of it, I woke up this morning to find a puddle of red fluid seeping out from under my garage door. The dripping missed the bucket completely... ](*,) time to break out the kitty litter.
