I don't know if anyone is still watching this thread, but don't drain anything.

The behavior you mention is normal... depending on how and when you check the fluid level. The car is supposed to be running and it should have recently been driven. When checking, have the car in park, wipe the stick, and check it quickly. The level gets thrown off by either sitting in one place or failing to check immediately after driving with the engine running.

Try checking as recommended in the manual and you will probably find that it's in the correct range. If it is above the normal range, but is not leaking, don't drain, it's fine. The trans will eject a serious overfill.
