Maybe slipping isn't the right word. But sometimes, when the van is cold I'll put it in gear I'll notice one of two problems. Either...
A) it will shift really late 1-2 and 2-3, or not at all.
B) it will rev considerably without going any faster in first.
The first time it did "A" i blindly added a little more fluid, which seemed to fix the problem.
Noticed fluid leaking out of the pan and Speed Sensor fitting so I thought that's why it was getting low.
Tightened pan bolts and sealed sensor with silicone (in case O-ring wasn't sealing). Then noticed "B".
Checked fluid today and it's over the hot mark by quite a bit.
Can having too much fluid in it cause the above, or do you think it's some other problem?
Fluid is bright red and smells as good as that stuff can smell.
Thanks. JR
