High Transmission Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transmission failure. If an overfill reading is indicated, drain and refill the transmission.
