Default Over-fill of Tranny

It appears from the dipstick that I slightly overfilled the tranny with RedLine Shockproof. Any problem or do I get a straw to remove some lube?

remove it, use a suringe or a turkey baster, you could even do a controlled drain with the drain plug. Enjoy the mess either way.

What are the problems caused with an overfill? BTW -- I used a long straw (aka plastic tube) and sucked some out until I was at the full mark.

Only problem I know of with an overfill is increases chance of leakage.
