So the manual says basically .25 of a quart, it took almost 1/2 the quart to get to the bottom of the fill hole (as it's supposed to be in the tranny) is this too much, is it overfilled?

Hi Travis , I always fill them to the bottom of the hole , never had a problem yet . you'll know if it's a bad thing as it'll blow all over your brakes but I've _never_ had it happen from overfilling yet !

1 Pint or 1 pound (.55 quarts) per side. If you overfill no problem, the gear oil will
find its way through the bearing and into
the axle tube (and find a leak
