Man, I'm a little worried now. I just changed out my MTF ('06 Si), and I could only fill a little over a quart (1.1L maybe) before fluid came out of the fill hole. My car was pretty level length-wise (nose-to-rear). I used ramps, but my slanted parking lot compensated for that. My car my have been *slightly* tilted to the left. The only thing I can think of is that it wasn't fully drained. But since my car was slightly tilted to the left (from the driver's perspective), and the drain bolt is on the left side, it should have been fully drained. Help please? I don't want to ruin my transmission because of this! Thanks.
