Changed transmission fluid on an angle

Hello,

I recently changed my manual transmission fluid on a `99 Civic LX and I realize now I should have done it on a flat surface.

Instead, I pulled it up on car ramps and drained and refilled with 2qts of transmission fluid.

I know it would have drained better on a level surface, but my main concern is whether I should pick up another bottle of transmission fluid and top it off again on a level surface.

Could the level be that far off?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Depending on how high the front end was, it might make quite a difference.

I'd at least check it with the car nice and level and see how close the fluid level is to the hole. Then decide.
