My car has over 110000 miles on it, bought it used with 80000 miles on it and don't know when the fluid had been changed, the trany started doing exactly what you descibed just now and I checked the fluid it looked kind of bad but didn't really smell burnt, I sucked out as much as I could and repalced the fluid with new dexron III and still have the same problem. Is the Dexron fluid VI thicker and will help this problem? I'm thinking of doing what you sugested to see if it would help, would this problem be partly caused by a bad filter or really dirty filter.
I will try to post some pictures of the cooler setup this coming weekend since I have to replace my A/C condenser and receiver dryer due to a leak but getting pictures will be tough since the space is very limited and pictures would have to come from underneath once the plastic cover is removed. The coolers are mounted vertically on each sider of the front air intakes in the nose using all the hardware that came with them. No special lines needed since I just cut the 2 factory cooler lines with a tube cutter bypassed them and clamped the rubber hoses from the coolers on those lines.

Dexron VI is just a better fluid than Dexron III and can be used to replace in the earlier cars where Dexron III is specified but I don't think it will solve the problem if you have a bad PCS solenoid.

Hope that helps!!
