It could also possibly be the trans cooler if one is equipped. Mine was clogged. Usually after a rebuild it needs to be replaced. They sometimes clog either way. Seems these transmission run high to begin with. Temps of over 200 degrees are common. I cut out my trans cooler, replaced it with a bigger aftermarket cooler.
I can’t get it to act up again now that it’s cooler out. However, I did get a code for the TCC solenoid so I will be replacing that. I hope that will cure the main problem since the it fell out of o/d then overheated.
I may do the aftermarket cooler upgrade later just to be on the safe side. I’ll have to save up a bit more first.
