just followed the guide on the 1st page and got ATF and filter changed. really time consuming because I made 2 mistakes -- 1st time forgot o-ring, 2nd time forgot magnetic. what a pain to do a screw-and-unscrew job.

PROS: notice that acceleration is better than before.

CONS: but since today, when I just start the car, before temperature comes up, when I stop the car before stop sign or traffic light, the car begins to shake a lot. After drive for a while, temperature comes up, there will be no shake when I stop the car. ANY idea about what's going on?

BTW, no CEL light pop-up. I also check that ATF is not overfilled.

Check the level again with min 15 of driving on level surface, parking brake on, gear in Park and engine running.

this morning before I drive the car, I check the ATF stick. it's on HOT end. coolant is below the FULL scale. after driving for 30 mins, I can see some fluid attached above the HOT scale. coolant is also above FULL scale.

does that mean it's overfilled?

Yes it's over filled. It should take at LEAST 15-25 mins for the ATF to get up to operating temp. (Depending on the climate you live in)

How much past full is it?

If it isn't past the "T-IV" lettering I wouldn't worry about it. You can always drain a bit out, by loosening the drain plug a thread or two.
