Did you check the level and color of the ATF? Did you use OEM radiator as a replacement for the busted one? Do you have external ATF cooler? When was the last time the ATF flushed or drained-refilled. You may have a worn out ATF fluid and restriced cooling line.

Did you check the level and color of the ATF - Yes level is ok and color between Rose and Pink
Did you use OEM radiator as a replacement for the busted one - i think it was aftermarket
Do you have external ATF cooler - NO
When was the last time the ATF flushed or drained-refilled - Flushed in 2010 at 131 000 (currently 146 000) by TirePlus

Thank You for help
