    Thoroughly clean the radiator and coolers , remove the belly pans and clean all the dirt out. Is it the transmission or engine getting hot?

    Thanks for your respond. It is the transmission. Your feedback appreciated

    Do what DickJr said above and see if it has any effect then report back on the results. As a matter of interest what oil are you using in thre transmission and when was the oil & filter last changed..? Have you inspected the condition of the transmission suction screen for the presence of any particles..?
