OK, First off, thanks to everyone who helped me figure this one out. I didn't
actually take my wheel off. I found that by merely jacking the car up so that
the wheel was at its maximum suspension travel, I could gain enough access to
the fill bolt of the tranny to get the job done. So here is my last question.
I am thinking that I possibly overfilled the transmission with oil. After
squirting in however much oil it took to fill it up, there was a stream of oil
trickling back out of the filler hole. I let this trickle out until it became a
drip, and then put on and tightened the bolt. The car was jacked up at the left
front jacking point (to the point that the left front wheel barely touched the
ground), but on a mild sideways incline (the incline ran from door-to-door
rather than hood-to-trunk) that lessenned the slope caused by the jack a little.
Should I be worried that I overfilled the tranny, or does this sound fine to
everyone? Please reply by tonight, so I know whether to do anything tomorrow
morning before I leave for Carlisle!

Thanks!
