I was kind of wondering about that too. Its pretty damn cold here latley.. getting down to single digits. I was wondering about if might have a pressure issue or if it keeps the revs up to help warm the fluid? I have no clue, I dont drive automatics.

If my SHO is doing that.. it means I get to pull the motor and swap a clutch..

Anyway.. I seen something about two different fluid levels.. one being when u drain the pan, and say .. swap a filter.. and another where its evidently flushed out?
I also seen another thread that says there is an overfill hole in the side of the transaxle? Kinda like on a manual? Just needs to be level? I'm sure its a blast to reach, but I like that way a lot better, but also know if they are overfilled it would cause damage? This is why I dont like autos!
