Re: ATF fluid level-What's going on here? This doesn't make sense!

In my previous older hydramatics, there was a check valve in the torque converter to keep the oil in it while sitting overnight. When this valve leaked, the oil drains back into the pan.
I think it doesn't make a lot of difference as long as the oil is at the correct level when hot.
Possibly if the converter isn't pumped back full and you take off immediately when first started in the AM, it might be a bit sluggish?
