I wouldn't say extremely modified. I had to pull the pressure down because the 1/2 was getting annoying and some times would be really hard.
Made it firm but not too aggressive.
Just recently bumped the shift to 6400 1/2 6300 2/3. Shift times are at .1000 apposed to .5-.3
just basic stuff you would do when adding a shift kit.
Runs through the Radiator and the Cooler. I've only ever seen fluid on the over flow tube and it stays cool like it should.

Any chance there is a leak between the rad and the end tank? Do you still run the trans fluid through the rad?
Sounds to me like you either have too much fluid in the trans or pressure is building up in the trans and pushing fluid out. I don't really know enough about the trans to know what might cause it to push fluid out the vent.

The only time fluid usually blows out the overflow is when it overheats. But it sounds like the 3-4's are on there way out, which could be caused by numerous things. Just have to get it apart and look at it. How many miles are on it?
