Re: Overfilled transmission?
The question remains, and you and your aunt may not know the answer .... How may miles "ago" was the pan last clean? Flushing will not clean the pan. The pan is so large that sediment can lay against it and never experience much fluid flow ... even in a "flush" ... so the sediment will remain in the pan until it is dropped and wiped out. This is "by design".
The sediment that was in the pan may have been collecting since manufacture! If the transmission repairs were of the right nature ... the pan possibly has never been dropped and wiped before. ??? Do you have any guesses? Its possible the tranny is now in great shape and the wear particles collected in the pan were of an earlier period. Who knows.

I certainly don't mean to a an alarmist ... we really don't have enough historical information to make a good judgement based on history. If the tranny performs well with no slippage ... I would go with that!
