1993 4 Runner mileage: 91,000. After running an hour or so on a long trip the transmission oil light comes on showing it is overheating. Pull over and let it idle until cool down, but it will do it again unless speed held under sixty. I had transmission flushed, but it keeps on happening. Suggestions for fixing the problem most welcome.

Check to be sure that the transmission goes into overdrive and the converter locks up at highway speeds. With the converter locked, the transmission generates very little heat. If this checks okay, you may want to consider adding a secondary transmission cooler.
