Transmisson overdrive

What the man said about the heat is most important. I move trailers for a living. I was backing a trailer uphill into a guys driveway. The trans overheated and started pouring out tranny fluid like water from a spiggot. It hit the exhaust and started a fire! Lucky I had a fire extinguisher!
I recommend a gauge to give you some idea of the temperature. Overdrive works automatic most of the time. But like the man said if it hunts, turn it off, if you want some resistance downhill turn it off. Otherwise I leave it alone and let the computer deal with it. I have had my share of tranny problems. Ford rebuilt the tranny and replaced the torque converter (twice) and it still dosen't lock and unlock correctly I would like to know about how that works, any suggestions would be nice, thanks
