Hi all. Follow up question on oil and filter change for the transmission on my 1986 1211. I pulled the rear cover, which was no easy task. Somebody used copious amounts of Red thread locker on all bolts. Changed the filter also. Oil was very clean with only small amount of thicker stuff on the floor of the housing. Filled with 6 qts. and checked. Stick showed overfull. Ran it around a tad, and still showed overfull, just a bit. So much for adding 7 qts, per manual. I noticed when checking for leaks by filter what appears to be a drain plug. Do these transmissions have a drain plug at that point? Will running it maybe 1/4" over the full mark, cause problems. Thanks for any help. Couldn't bring myself to tear into axles after having a hard time getting bolts off and rear cover loose. I'd also like to converse with the Engineer who designed the dipstick/oilfill tube. What a genius!
