Correct although I did have the car titled slightly forward so the rear fill port was higher. Not sure how much of a difference that made.
But yes, either the very slight nose low attitude on the car caused the fluid to not overfill or I actually do not have enough.
I had the full 7 litres of the ZF LifeguardFluid 6 transmission fluid but probably wasted about 0.5 litre of the stuff during the process.
Who knows......
Are you confident it's nothing to do with any of the seals I installed? I mean the 4 sleve seals are a given to be right, I'm just wondering about the bridge seal with the 2 rectangles.

Well it's done now.....can't undo it

Yep it is a bitch. Everything else is really good but that gentle coming to a stop and the bang into 1st sux. It's actually better in sport mode.
EDIT: This is the kit I used. My old bridge seal didn't have the tab on the side but I didn't remove it on the new one either.....
