Hey so I'm probably going to sound like an idiot but I have just recently bought a 1993 Land Rover Disco V8i and in topping up the transmission fluid I managed to over fill it. And so I released a sump plug from directly in line under the gear stick (Auto) and it seemed to have worked in dropping the fluid level on the dipstick to the cold mark, then I took it for a drive to warm er up and it went to top mark. Today however I took for run again into town and I got a funny noise coming the center console (gear stick). I pulled over checked the transmission dipstick and it was about an inch above the top mark. Can someone please explain what have I done wrong

 

Wrong forum...

But are you checking the level when its running?
