From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
Check for restricted cooler flow. Take line off at rear of tranny. Must flow in excess of quart ATF in 20 seconds. Don't empty tranny and can be very messy.
Possible failed trans temp sensor (or shorted wire) in tranny and part of governor pressure transducer.
