Did I overfill my tranny?

So yesterday I did the complete drain/flush/fill. I used 1 bottle of 3.78 liter tranny fluid to flush. I then used about 1/4 of another 3.78 liter bottle as well to continue flushing until it came out red.

Then after that I poured the remainder of the 3/4 filled 3.78 liter bottle into the dipstick.

Well I checked this morning and the fluid seems to be WAY above the cold mark on the dipstick but it seems impossible that I could have overfilled that much on just a little over 3 liters.

I know the transmission dipstick seems to give the wrong readings because of the fluid sticks to it more than oil does. What do you think? Is there another way I can tell besides draining all the fluid and then measuring it up to see how much came out LOL?>

Never mind guys, I actually figured it out. I forgot I can just pull the cooling hose to drain some fluid. Was a little over a quart over.

Anyone know how much fluid is in the torque converter after the drain and refill? Must not be very much because if the drain and refill is 2.6 quarts and It was overfilled when I added 3.7 during the flush, and came out over a quart over...makes me wonder?
