Hi,

Thanks for the tips so far.

Bill, I'm thinking the same thing and will put the car back on the floor once I've pumped out fluid to get it back down again, then go from there.

Jon, at this point I'm not ruling anything out but will look at everything again before having to pull the tranmission back out.

John, if I had replaced the tube and/or dipstick, I would be thinking the same thing but these are the original pieces. I could see if the measurement was off by half a pint at the most but to be off approximately one inch on the stick seems bizarre to me.

Henry, no reverse valve body, the Transgo kit was to firm up shifts.

Thanks again,

Mike.
