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.
