I bought a 2001 Montana a month ago. I checked the transmission fluid and it's overfilled by almost a quart of fluid. Transmission operates fine. Would this damage the transmission.

I noticed when checking level a lot of bubbles on dip stick. It was hard to check proper level but after 6 attempts I could see it was overfilled.
