The Auto is acting strange, as in I put my foot down and it kick down but I seem to have very little power. It then slowly climbs to power and then changes up. The whole shifting seem funny ATM. I checked the fluid level when I got home and it seem I may have filled it way to much last week. Should I drain it? if so witch nut do I undo? Thanks..

the sumps dont have drain plugs, you just have to pull the pan out and replace the gasket, i spose you could try undoing the bolts along the side, so it just seperates and allowes some oil to drain out (but cant garrenttee the gasket will reseal when you tighten the bolts back up)

Theres a small nut on the side. I drained 3lts form there, took it for a drive and the Auto I think is just fvcked. I blew a hose last weekend, while I was driving so that may have done the damage. Plus I have money in my account, so somthing like this was bound to happen. The engine is running great. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pull the vacuum hose of the modulator on the side of the transmission and see if any oil escapes. If it does then it's stuffed.
