Is the TCC/TorqueConverterClutch lockup connected? If not this can cause overheating in 4th-O/D.
TV Cable not set correctly? Too loose?
Material from slipping clutches can plug Filter and Trans cooler & cause overheating.
You can compare the flow at Radiator of the Cooler feed line "upper" to the Cooler return line "lower" to check for blockage. A Funnel with a long hose attached to dipstick tube is needed to prevent low fluid condition. Check with Trans warm, idling @1000rpm no longer than 45-60 seconds running time as return line goes to Trans lube circuit.
