Overfilled my M47 and now, my synchros are much less strong 200 89

Hi guys!

I finally overfilled my tranny with full synthetic 75 W90 fluid

When I changed my fluid this summer, I (under)filled it with cheap ATF-F.. just 1 1/4 quart of it filled it so: My tranny was very noisy, but my synchros were very good. At any temp, I was able to shift without any resistance...

So now, after I filled it with the good oil, my 3rd and 5th gears are much less frightening (about noise) but It's becoming difficult when I have to downshift in 2nd (like when you turn a corner)...

Is it normal and.. is it safer thanwhen it was underfilled with ATF??

I wouldn't want to go under my car again since this summer... :)

P.S. Are any of you had difficulty to fill it?? There is very little space to place the fluid container near the filling plug!!

P.P.S. Do you know how to convert the picture of me with my car into the format needed to put it in the gallery section??

Thank you!!
