Hey Vabill, What kind of fluid did you use and
what kind of van is it? As mentioned below if you drop the pan, you"ll only get about 1/2 the fluid out, the torque converter is a sealed unit on the GMs because of the lockup clutch. Were you changing fluid and put the wrong stuff in or did you just add alittle of the wrong fluid? Another option would be to have the tranny flushed. If done right, they can circulate out close to 100% of your fluid. This would probably be alittle more expensive, but no mess and alot less hassle. If you go that route, be sure and question the place doing it if they change the filter. The flushing process only requires them to hook up to a cooler line by the radiator, so unless their changing the filter they don"t need to drop the pan. Some of the quick lube places love this cause they don"t even have to take the vehicle off the ground, just hook up and go. To me it"s kinda like taking a shower and putting dirty underwear back on, don"t make alot of sense. Let me know Brokenwrench
