There's really no way that you can over fill it, once it is full it'll start pouring out of the fill hole.

what if u put the fill plug back in and fill it threw the shifter??? you can over fill the tranny if your not paying attention


but to answer the question it will airate(sp) and become foamy and not lubricate proberly and wher all know where that leads
