Thats plenty hot for tranny fluid.
I start to get real nervous at the 200F mark.
Towing my boat back this weekend, the hotest my tranny got was 156F according to my tuner.
Sounds like you need to have your tranny flushed. I'd try this first, if that doesn't solve the problem, then you have other serious problems.
Are you sure the gauges are installed right and calibrated? The hotest my SD gets unloaded is 140F.
