Tranny fluid level - quick ?

[Crunchy]

I have an auto tranny in my 4L 2003 ranger. Had a flush done a while back. I noticed that the fluid level on the dip stick when warm is maybe 1/2" to 3/4" above the cross-hatched marks on the stick.

So my fluid level is high.

Is this really that bad?

Should I drain some?

If so, since I don't have a drain plug, whats the best way, disconnect a line on my aux tranny cooler and start the truck until enough squirts out or is there a better/easier/less messy way?

Did you check it when it was cold or warm?

It might appear to be at the correct level when it's cold. It creeps up a little when it warms up. It's doesn't sound like it's very overfilled. Maybe it has a few extra ounces in it.
