Overheating Transmission??

I searched around and couldn't find anything on this.

This may have a simple fix, but my transmission seems to be running very warm lately even in cool temperatures. I know this because my floor gets warm. It can't be the exhaust because it runs well away from the floor, and the heat seems to be just around the tunnel. I thinking that it could be from over filling passed the arrows? Stupid me Anybody else have this problem?

If you overfilled it, drain some off. A lot of transmissions will run hot if overfilled.

If it's overfilled, ti could be aerating the the fluid, which could strave it and cause it to heat up. Masybe pull a cooling line off and dtrain the excess. You do have a stall converter in it, do you have an external tranny cooler?

Yep, I do. I figured that may be it.
