Driving the bonne 230 miles over 76 had the cruise set on 80. Doing good time and the car had no problems. WELL. I noticed mt RPMs creeping up so I started doing a TCC check and they weren't changing I figured it could probably use adjusting for a while. So I kept going. then I notice when I dropped down the 70 the RPM'* shot up to 4000. Trying to hold the panic in my face not to panic my passengers I pulled over. Not moving I could immediately smell the ATF Plugged in my scanner and I felt like a college freshman looking at a positive pregnancy test. To my horror it was up to 278 yes 278. I jumped out of the car and check the ATF a nice toasted tan. and even bubble on the dip stick. So I let it cool down and did the rest of the 20 miles at 70 and watching the TCC slip to keep it minimal. So yeah lesson learn.
