If you overfill the transmission, you will find that the fluid may foam, and that can lead to erratic gear shifting. Other problems can include transmission damage and oil starvation.

Some transmissions can’t be overfilled because of the way they are designed. They might have a hole in the side, and any extra will just flow out.
