When traveling on the interstate over seventy-five miles per hour the transmission overheats under seventy-five miles per hour no issues appear.

Oh yes, that is because the fluid needs to be changed, when the fluid wears out the transmission will slip causing this "overheating" here is how to change the fluid and only use.

Transmission fluid dm3 (qt) Mitsubishi Motors Genuine CVTF-J4 7.1 (7.5)

Fill in the new transmission fluid through the filler tube. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.

Changed the fluid. Very easy to do. Engine sounds better no more whining or slipping so far. Thank you.
