Ok, I'm old and my eyes may be deceiving me, but...
c4 tranny was shifting a little hard, so I checked fluid level with the engine running in Park. The fluid level is so low it doesn't even show on the dipstick. However, with the engine off (and warm), the dipstick shows slightly above full. This huge difference can't be normal,can it? What do your dipsticks show when the engine is off ?

So, in order to have it read full when in park, engine running, I would have to fill it about half way up the filler tube when not running? Ummmm...

OK guys;disregard previous exageration: it only took about half a quart to bring it from "not showing" to "full".
