Ah thanks for the updated info! I don't know if I will try and check the line pressure but that is great info and appreciated. I did not do the normal drain method because I don't have snap-ring pliers for that metal clamp, I do most of my work at a friend's house and he has every tool I could imagine. That was the only way I could come up with doing it at my house (he actually supplied me with said hose and syringe). I guess I will just keep draining and rechecking the levels until it is at the proper level.

I get slight hints of a smell of ATF after driving the car now, but don't see any drips or fluid on the ground or around the transmission housing. I guess it is just lingering from when I did the flush over the weekend.
