Question:

Are overheating transmissions common on Ford EL Falcon GLIs? .?

About 2 days ago our Ford EL Falcon GLI developed a problem with its transmission where there was a shudder and slow acceleration during start and stop operations in severe traffic and eventual transmission oil overflow. The transmission now runs normally after cooling down.

Answer:

transmission gets cooled by the radiator. so if engine over heats the transmission does also. so you have to look into why the engine over heats, that will correct the transmission problem. if you don't find out why the engine over heats you will do damage to both the engine and transmission. might be a problem with the fans coming on to cool the radiator
