    1989 240 DL auto.

    Can any damage occur from having 1 quart too much transmission fluid in
    there? I'm not sure if it is low or not and I don know what would happenn if
    I over fill by just that one quart.

    Cheers,
    Hector

    You might get "foaming" with too much transmission fluid. Foam
    does not compress like liquid and will make the transmission
    feel like it's slipping. I just bought a '87 760Ti "bad
    transmission" for $200 (hehehe). Took 1.5 quarts out of the
    overfull trans, freed up the kickdown cable and it shifts just
    fine now.

    Similar story: Just bought an '85 245DL for $50. Some holes in
    the floor, but runs like a dream.
