If you used the semi manual auto 1-2-3 shifter you can bet on it burning even faster. Think of how heavy the car is and how weak the tranny is. The least you can do is assist in cooling. That's my 300,000 cents.

I dont recall ever hearing that the transmission was "weak", just the overheating part. And please correct me if im wrong, but I have heard driving around town with the selector in "3" is actually better for the transmission by reducing the gear load.... am I just misinformed
