Yikes, change it. All they do is overheat and blow up.

huh i thought these 7AT trannies were pretty strong. Do you have any links for more info on the 7AT blowing up and overheating? Damn really don't want to spend 400 on a GTM tranny cooler. Could someone recommend a different solution? I'm guessing I have to piece together my own kit.

No other option. You either spend 600 to make it run correctly or 7k for a new one. I haven't seen a stock tranny went out yet only forced induction

Old and probably bought the thread back but.... my transmission blew and i think its because i overheated it... plus it was overfilled... so yes a stock tranny can overheat and blow also because of overfilling! I did not overfill it i meerly watched as he overfilled it because he thought it was ok...

While I understand the tranny is a sealed unit common sense still applies. Transmission fluid is a lubricant and like all lubricants wear out over time. I had mine replaced at 45000 miles at my local Nissan dealer and have never regretted doing so.
