Ok, perhaps I'm being paranoid here, but I just did the MTX Cocktail thing yesterday, and during the filling of the tranny, I had the car up on stands, both left and right, so the car was horizontally level, but tilting back. (I have no idea how any of you accessed the fill hole with the car completely flat on the ground.) Anyway, the transmission took the full 3 litres of Synthetic ATF and the 1/2 bottle of FM.
Now I'm wondering if it's overfilled, because I had the car tilted back and not level when filling the tranny? Need I be concerned, or should I just drive and not worry about it?
Thanks.

I myself wouldn't worry too much unless I noticed something wrong.

You have overfilled for sure.
just open the fill hole (on level ground) and let whatever comes out, come out.

I think the tranny is even smoother now. (But perhaps it's in my head, cause I think it ought to be smoother with less pressure.) Probably about a 1/2 litre came out, so it likely was overfilled. Thanks for the help guys!

It will slow your car down, and waste gas.
