My experience also, however have not had it happen in another vehicle in
that way. Nothing else on the Vanagon follows conventional wisdom; why
should the auto tranny?

I know better than to generalize from personal experience, but all I'm
saying is that overfilling by a small amount DID cause a shifting problem in
my van.  Twice.  Removed excess fluid; shifting problem went away.  Twice.
