It would do this on cold start ups. No it is not over filled. It was right at the fill mark before I parked it the night before. You check these in idle with the transmission in drive, and that is just what I did before shutting it down. So the fluid is right where it needs to be.
I have a feeling that the torque converter could be the problem but I am not sure. I notice when it lock in on direct drive, it would make a "clunk" sound and stay in direct drive until I slow down. Sometimes it would make a soft "clunk" sound and it would slip out of direct drive when you lightly depress the gas pedal so to go a little faster, and it would sound like as if it's in neutral. Then I would let off the very little gas I gave it. Then it would make a soft "clunk" sound again. And yes, I'm using type F fluid.
