  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I changed the fluid once and skipped the 120-140F level setting part. Car started slipping gears.
I did jack the car when cold, did add 0.4L until it was dripping from fill plug (just to prevent destroying the transmission until i have access to a lift), and surprisingly the car was shifting smoothly.
Things were weird when I followed the official procedure, lift the car level, shit gears until 120F and add fluid 0.6L until drips from level plug, now it's slipping gears even worse than before.

Question is, does this make any sense? I mean can transmission shifts bad on a correct fluid level and it will adjust or should i remove the 0.6L as i'm overfilled now? pretty confused here...

Overfilling causes slipping. The fluid foams and can't build pressure.
You overfilled it when you added the 0.6L hot. The level was already correct from your first attempt.
Drain out that extra 0.6L. Let it drip from the fill hole when the car is cold and level. This will very likely fix the slipping.
