It needs a bigger cooler. Its overheating. May need a new front seal as well. but the overheating is the cause

maybe i am thinking of the older style transmissions but i have had the puking problem on my bronco. It turned out the vent hole cover had smashed against a rock and sealed off any escaping hot air. cut it off the cover and ran a breather hose up into the cab and have not had a problem out of her since.
