Not best, but optimum Transmission?

I know what you mean, and I agree. I've tried to explain it. Just ain't sinking in. Let's try this another way. It was 80% of the acceptable range ABOVE the ADD 1 PINT indicator line. That's further away from the ADD 1 PINT line that it is from the FULL line.

Considering the total capacity (that means how much a define shaped will hold) of the 727 transmission and torque converter, which is rated to hold 12 quarts, (which would be extremely close to the same amount as 24 pints), my transmission was down ~20% of 1 pint. Let me work out the differential equation on that … that comes out to a factor of ~0.008333, or 0.8333% lower than the suggested 12 quart capacity. 0.8333% is less than 1, because it starts with 0. That means my transmission when checked, was LESS THAN 1% below the suggested full capacity.

In most people's book, that doesn't equate to: OH GOD YOU'RE AN IDIOT! YOU JUST BURNED UP YOUR TRANSMISSION! TEAR DOWN TRANSMISSIONS FOR A LIVING OR NEVER DRIVE AGAIN!

I'm going to guess that it's quite possible there's an alternative explanation than "you burned up your transmission because a) you didn't overfill it like I do, b) you're not a fluid expert, and c) you've never rebuilt a transmission.

That said, I shall respectfully only listen and respond to other's more tactful and very likely more accurate feedback.
