depends on how much you mean too much.

but in general it will put more pressure onto the oil seal,

more oil=lower gear oil temp= stiffer gearchange

not when you pour the oil in through the breather hole. Laughing

It holds 2 litres. If its not been changed in a while then do it. You can not overfill them. If you remove the battery and tray you will see a black plastic cap on top of the gearbox where you can put the oil in.
If you want to empty the oil fast and make a big mess pull the drive-shaft out Whistle... However there is a better way of doing it.
