Goerend sent me a new trans. I can still get this one hot while towing on the converter.
You may want to check the thermostat in the front cooler to make sure it is functioning correctly. If you remove the c clip and use a butane torch on the square block the spring pressure will pop the cap and rod out for cleaning.
The only dowside is if the o-ring is bad you may have a leak unless you can source a good one somewhere. Been a few of them jam open or partially open and just let the fluid circulate aorund the cooler instead of thru.
