My transmission temperature raises when I drive a trail in 4HI slower than ~15mph. I have to use manual transmission mode or 4LO. In this case temperature stays in the middle of the gauge. To me this feels weird.
Transmission Overheating - anyone else?

My transmission temperature raises when I drive a trail in 4HI slower than ~15mph. I have to use manual transmission mode or 4LO. In this case temperature stays in the middle of the gauge. To me this feels weird.
I have around 8400 miles on a 1958 model and it has 3 oil changes on it never a overheating issue
This is because the transmission is anticipating a gear change. The anticipation cause clutch and torque converter slippage which increases tranny temperature.
The 4lo just keeps the LC going slower with higher RPM. The LC isn’t anticipating as many gear changes which in turn keeps the tranny cooler.
