Shop has been around a long time and is highly reputable. The shop supposedly (saying “supposedly out of my personal ignorance - not bc I doubt them) rebuilt it to the same spec as the cobra transmission of that year. Everything shifts perfectly with no issues. The problem is that there was a light ticking sound after rebuild that was in sync with rpm’s (tick was nonexistent at idle and in park, but slightly noticeable in drive at rpm’s above idle).  The shop said that it wasn’t uncommon and that it was due to slight misalignment of some sort of plate but it would go away (it did). For a second opinion, I took it to another shop I trust and they agreed with the original shop. Overall, no worries there. My issue comes from about a month later my son was home from college (his car) and he was changing the oil. When we finished he checked the trans dipstick and it was WAY over the fill line (like completely over the range). I know overfilling the trans isn’t good. My question is - did the cobra trans take more fluid?  I don’t think it did but I wanted to ask. Possibly if it did the rebuild shop just put so much fluid in and knew it was right?  Did the second shop put fluid in?  I know we didn’t put it in but I don’t want to call the shop and be like “hey there’s too much trans fluid in there and I can’t explain why” bc I don’t want them to void my 1-yr warranty.   Drives in the car are relatively short (30 min or less) and the temps have never gotten out of line.  Any insight from the group?  I don’t mind taking some out, but I also don’t want to make it worse. Thanks all!!</blockquote>
