    I was thinking I would see what happens when I flush it.
    I don't get why it is taking 25 minutes of driving, on the HWY, then stop and go when it finally starts heading toward over heating. Lets hope it is the clutch going bad, slipping when it is hot. I am scared to death my issue is bigger as in head/head gasket, the big dollar fixes.

    Well been driving the car some finally. Long HWY drives in 90 degree heat. The oil pressures are good. About 64 lbs nice and hot at 70 MPH tooling down the HWY. At a red light nice and hot about 18 lbs, in park nice and hot after a long drive time about 24 lbs pressure. I tip my hat to TA perf for putting together my TC cover and oil pump and things looking good from its performance.
