Hopefully a simple question.
I use the correct procedure to fill the Autobox, get it hot, cycle thru all the gears then switch off and dip it immediately then top up to the 'Hot' level on the dipstick.
Then overnight the level goes way above the max level on the stick and begins it leak out in various places because the level is so high in the autobox body. Left to leak like this the fluid reduces to a point where the transmission barks like a dog going around left hand corners because the pickup starts to pickup air.
Various google sources say the Torque convertor is prevented from draining down by a 'check valve'. Is this check valve in the Torque Convertor or is it in the Valve body just above the sump plate? If in the valve body it would be reasonably easy to fix by dropping the Autobox sump. If in the TC then its a new TC and gearbox out.
