Removed trans builder said 3/4 gear clutches gone again. He fixed it, reinstalled drove 60 miles died again. This time it was as he said "welded togther". He was unable to get planetarys apart. So tired of fooling with what I thought was a crappy builder I call GM and order a new crate 4l70e. Well now I've driven it 3 4 days solid great running shifts beautifully. Noticed today trans was starting to get a little hot after a pretty good little trip it was 199. Then it started slipping, flailing shifts. I'm afraid I'm gonna smoke this new trans. My truck has a cooler thru the aluminum champion radiator only. And I'm using rubber high pressure trans cooler lines. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

199 Degrees itself will not harm the transmission, But doesn't leave much room for error, You need to add an Auxiliary Stacked Plate Cooler.....After you figure out what is going wrong with your unit!!
Has Line Pressure Rise been verified with a Pressure Gage? Needs to bump 180-200 PSI at WOT with a stock .471" Boost Valve.
What Dipstick & Tube are you using? Are you 100% sure the ATF is at the PROPER level? a empty 4L60E with a factory deep pan & 300mm Converter should take at least 13 Quarts of ATF.
