Would the 2.5q of ATF and 24oz of the Lucas leave my transmission just a little overfilled?

1. Tremec posted a TSB to only fill the TR-3650 Tranny with 3L or 3.17 quarts of fluid for smoother shifting. I'm not sure what the original recommended amount was, but the 3L or 3.17 quarts is lower than what was originally put in the TR-3650.

2. The TR-3650 in our cars came from the factory with Mobil1 synthetic tranny fluid, however the Tremec TSB recommends to change it to regular Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) for smoother shifting.

1.) 24oz (.75 quart) bottle of Lucas Tranny Fix
2.) 77.44oz (2.42 quarts) of Mobil1 Dextron III ATF fluid.

So to answer your question, yes it will over fill it, but by .08 of a qt. I really don't think it has to be THAT precise.

Appreciate the response man.
Has anyone else had a smoking issue?
First start up of the day produces cloud of smoke from my tailpipe. Car runs beautifully. Checked everything and didn't find a issue. Have only had it a couple days and have only seen it twice.

I've read it's common on 4.6 mod engines to do so on first start ups. Just wanted some other experiences/views.
