adding transmission fluid without flush
Transmission fluid is alittle low and brown now. Can i just add some fluid to the tranny without a full flush.. is there such thing as way to much transmission fluid in the tranny at 1 time.. or will it be fine?

There's definitely such thing as too much transmission fluid -- that's why there's a line on the dipstick.
If yours is brown, I STRONGLY recommend you change the fluid. A drain in fill is only 3 quarts, and I just paid $9 a quart at one of the more expensive Acura dealers in NC for my transmission fluid, which I just had changed this morning. Also, don't forget about the spin-on filter. It's a bit tricky to get to, but worth the investment.
