I changed the transmission fluid and filter a couple of weeks back, and unfortunately over-filled it by one quart. I should have only put 4 quarts of fluid in there, but ended up filling in 5 quarts. I have the automatic transmission - 2 wheel drive.
Is there any easy way to drain out the excess without unbolting the transmission pan? I would assume that I could undo one of the trans cooler lines with a box wrench that goes to the radiator. If so, is it the bottom cooler line that inserts into the radiator on the driver's side? If that is the case, should I start the vehicle to drain the excess fluid out, or will enough excess drain out by unbolting the line without adding pressure by starting the vehicle?
thanks.
