Default Help!! transmission question

I have a 2002 Z06 with 24,000 miles on it. When changing the transmission fluid, I could only get in 3 1/4 quarts before it started dripping out. (this is the first time I have changed it.)
From reading on the forum, I understand that usually it should take at least 3 3/4 quarts.
The car was level when I changed the fluid and I made a point to allow the old fluid to drain for about 15 minutes before I added the new, so I assume the old fluid was completely drained out.
Has anyone ever run into this?? Any suggestions??
Thanks
Dave
