I recently changed the transmission filter and oil, and had problems when i was done.
the car only took about one to one and a half quarts of transmisson fliued so i tried to start the car put it in gear and got no movment. so thinking that it was because it was to full i went to drain some oil out and nothings comming out of the transmisson drain hole but yet the dipstick says that the fluid is over full. what did i do wrong?

Hi there,

Remove the pan and check that the filter is installed correctly, and are you checking the transmission engine running and in neutral?
