Shirley Temple was a nug.

Here are the symptoms:
Over time I'd noticed my pep had slowed considerably.
Tranny starts over heating, causing blowback up the dipstick tube. Replaced the fluid immediately, added a trans cooler and temp gauge. Had tranny flushed and did the screen as well (not power flushed but fluid pulled from the converter and pan drained).
Fast forward 60 days. I'm on a trip to the Sierras and driving up a long hill. Trans is hitting 230* and won't go past 35 mph at 3100 rpm... obviously slipping. On any small hill the tranny will start to get hot and rapidly even before the trip.
Tranny has 87,000 miles on it, fluid changed right when I bought it at 56,000. All I'm reading is the tranny is bullet proof but did mine take a bullet instead? Am I overlooking the obvious?
