I been having a weird problem with my 4300 trans fluid level. This is a 2wd, SST, 420 FEL. When I walk out to the machine (it has been sitting overnite say), there is no oil visible in the veiwing hole, or window. I know it has oil as I have put 7 gallons in it. There is no tell-tale evidence of leaking oil anywhere. I can start it and run the FEL up and down, no change. However, if I then drive it aroud some, the indicator shows to be overfull. What I mean is the level is supposed to be halfway up the window, and it is all the way to the top. It may be something I have done, but I'm not sure what. I changed the trans fluid, filter, and suction screen this spring. I put 6.3 gallons back into it, per the book. The level looked fine. I have since added the rest of the partial gallon, for a total of 7 gals, trying to get the at rest (and cooled down) level to halfway up the indicator. Everything is functioning fine, but this is really bugging me. If anyone has any ideas or experience with this please let me know.
