If they didn't replace the thermostat, start there?

Look for.leaks. Could be water pump? Usually water pump with leaks, sometimes without

It's his transmission overheating.

Correct me if I am wrong but low coolant can cause other problems???

It's his transmission overheating.

Oops. Sorry, I just spent a few hours out in the Florida sun doing my front differential service. Couldn't use the torque wrench because there wasn't room to get to the top.
I blame my incompetence on dehydration. Lol

Once the trans reaches operating temp the thermal bypass valve should open and send trans fluid to an air to air cooler. That's the first place to look.

Low coolant is not the problem. When the trans reaches operating temp the thermal bypass valve should open and allow trans fluid to go to the front mount cooler. That's the first place to look.
