Were you having this problem before the fluid change? Are you positive SP was used? My tranny doesn't get that hot pulling a 13K fifth wheel across the desert in August. I'm assuming that 205 was the tranny temp?

Are you running a tuner of any sort? Now or in the past? I would think a bad tft but the erratic shifting plus high temp. says major problem. Maybe Mark K. will come along and comment. He's the resident tranny engineer.

Bully Dogs are known for destoying Torque Shift trannies. I think you now have your answer. No backing up at this point.

I think Blade means destroy it so no one else loses a tranny to it.
