Was at Road America last weekend on track, late Saturday trans temp got to about 210*
trans started shifting into overdrive by itself, any trans experts have any ideas?

After it cooled down and 5 hours home it is shifting normally but guessing it's hurt?

I know some of the older transmissions will still shift into over drive to save themselves. Maybe it was shifting because the ECU felt it was too hot.

Road America huh? Love that place. What was your top speed at the end of the big straight that goes up that hill?

That straight about 120, car gets a little light in front coming over the hill and gets a little squirrely so I hold off a little, I'm faster on Moraine Sweep, about 130 there, had worn out tires this year so was struggling in the corners, a couple laps from Friday....
