do not drive that vehicle until you remove the excess fluid...air in the fluid will damage the transmission ....

after you suck out the fluid let the fluid settle down air bubbles collapse then start ///idle fwd rev for a few times...no driving and slowly add to the lowest level on the stick..and when you see no bubbles...

go for a ride at slow speeds then after 20min of driving on level ground slowly add a few oz. until it is at the bottom of the normal operating range....

every day for a week check the level when hot on level ground ,,at the same parking area ,,,see if you need to add more..it may take a week to get out the air trapped.....
