Make sure you are checking the fluid with the car running. You want to start the car up let it warm up and idle then hold the brake and shift from park to first then first to nuetral letting the tanny sit in each gear for a moment. Once this is done keep the car idling pull the parking brake up and check the fluid with the car running bet you that the fluid shows up correctly now. I thought when you described the problem before that it was just the fluid. Glad to hear that its working. Just follow what I said to check the fluid and you should get an accurate level then. The fluid level being correct should give the car a nice tight feel to the gears. Remember that it uses the fluid pressure to shift so if the level is low so is the pressure and the shifts wont be as tight.
