High temp e4od

The tranny is on a 1997 f250 psd 222K miles it has acceleration shudder and o.d
shudder. Tranny is getting to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and stays right about there but does not cool when it is park and idiling. What do you guys think?

I'd check the fluid flow rate...follow Mark Ks thread on doing this...you basically remove trans line at trans pass side - rear-most line IIRC (fluid after exiting radiator) and run engine for 15 secs and see how much fluid comes out. If not enough (see Mark Ks thread for amount), radiator is blocking flow. I changed my radiator and it improved. Added a TruCool Max cooler and it helped tremendously! Temps down to 160-190 all day even while towing in ambient temps of 90F.

does your '97 have a bypass? if so,then it might be because your cooler is plugged and the bypass is doing it's job.
