You should keep driving. It's normal.

Depending on where you live and how you drive, that doesn't sound too bad at all. On a hot day my trans in my Wagon will run that warm.

Newer vehicles are designed to run at higher temps all-around. If the motor is hotter the fuel burns more completely, causing less emissions. That's why they are spec'ing higher weight oils in everything, and a lot of the fluids are now synthetic to fight wear.
