95 Trans problems.

95 Trans problems.
My Father has a 95 2.3 2wd Auto and it's having serious issues once the engine warms up.
It will be sluggish into gear initially then it flares between gears and it overheats under normal driving.
It has been all but rebuilt. Replaced solenoids, filter fluid and flushed the cooler. It was suggested that the TPS might be to blame (fingers crossed).
Any ideas? I am at a complete loss.

is the tranny cooler built into the radiator or is the cooler a separate unit
is the engine radiator the original 1 or a replacement , your engines radiator may be seriouly plugged up
open the radiator cap when the engine is cold , start engine , what the coolant flow as the engine warms
does the coolant flow good , or does the coolant just sit at the top of the core tubes,
i suspect that the radiator core tubes are plugged up from coolant calcifying from the heat
time for a replacement radiator

the reason why i asked these questions is?/
14+ years is way too long for a factory radiator to effectively cool an engine
i usually replace a radiator every 4 to 5 years regardless of exterior condition
if the factory radiator has the brass tanks , then you would be better to just get the core replaced
because brass tanks are better than plastic tanks
