Hi DEBHAGGY,

The symptoms described about the trans points to a low pressure in the system.

1. Check if the fluid level is correct.

2. Check the trans throttle pressure cable for proper adjustment. It should move in tandem with throttle opening and should not have any lag in the cable.

As to the overheating, did you check the radiator coolant level?
