You're right, that's exactly what they said. So go get a transmission cooler and fix it.

S197 Coyote cars routinely showed nearly 300 degrees in the manual transmission on track but the difference is that there wasn't a sensor that would force the car into limp mode. Hence, these guys were cooking fluid, having to change it out, and still adding auxiliary cooling systems. I believe the 6R80 did track trans temps and would shut the car down if it got out of acceptable limits. Limp mode doesn't always means the car is broken, sometimes it means it's saving itself from becoming broken.

Drives a torque converter automatic on the track and is surprised that it overheats??

Not once did Ford stated this is a track car, especially with an auto. You want to track the car, well then go get yourself some real cooling.

I bet your a dollar OP your a10 trans is under filled. Plenty of others have made it couple times around various tracks without going into overheat mode. If your looking to race it aftermarket coolers would be a must.

The GT350 (non R), all GTs, and really all Mustangs since 2015. Once they put temp sensors in the transmissions, fun at the track has required a trans-cooler. And a diff cooler.

This has been a topic here since forever and a day.
