Do I need to remove some transmission fluid

Hi Scotty, I've got a 2011 Subaru Forester that I bought used in 2015.  It now has about 145,000km on it.

I changed the transmission fluid a few months ago.  I used the Subaru recommended oil.  I checked the fluid level after the change (cold) and the level appeared to be within the cold range on the stick. 

Recently I checked the level (hot) according to the manual's procedure.  The level is about a 1/4" above the "hot" high level mark.

The transmission seems to have been running fine (maybe a little clunky at times since the change).

Is it worth trying to adjust the level (and risk taking too much out)?  What's the easiest way to take a little bit out without dumping it all over the floor?  Approximately how much do I need to remove?

Thx!

you could use a transfer pump down the dipstick tube
