What do the splines on the trans look like? Same for the yoke? If it is running dry enough to rust, might be getting some wear on the splines.

One way to check the dipstick calibration is to do a fluid/filter change. Add in one quart less then the amount needed. See where the level is on the stick with things warm. Should show low. Add in 1/2 quart. Should be close to the bottom of the hash marks on the dip stick. Add the other 1/2 quart. Should show full.
