Question about a 1996 elantra

I checked my Transmission level and it looks to be over the "hot" section. Is that normal? (like an inch over) I swiped it with a kleenex and did it a second time, and still over. Weird. Maybe I have too much fluid?

I have a standard in my Sonata so I'm not sure what the procedure is for checking a Hyundai automatic, but most American cars I've had required you to be on the level, run the transmission through all of the gears typically pausing for a few seconds in each gear and then let the car idle for 60 seconds or longer before checking the fluid. Did you read your owner's manual and follow the procedure to the letter?

If you did and you are reading an inch high, then it sure sounds like someone overfilled your transmission.
