Feeling like a bit of an idiot, because I've filled these transmissions going on 6-7 times now, no issues. Still a bit of [pump?] whine in reverse (usually a straight cut gear and not helical so it could be that), but otherwise it seems fine.
Not too mad, because the replacement transmission I got is flawless. Barely leaking, 2/2013 production date, so likely right at the end of the run. I was not able to get a mileage reading on it but judging from the interior of the car it was pulled from, very likely it's low mileage. It's barely leaking from the side gasket and sleeve seal.
Like Deans said, with a fresh check ball, it's much smoother coming from a stop at a cold start, no more clutch dumping or shock to the drivetrain. My checkball couldn't even form a proper seal from the wear.

Please start your own thread for ease of search parsing later. Are you saying all you did was top off your old transmission?
