Transmission fluid leak

[mcclusa]

the transmission had to be replaced. The torque converter got too hot and melted the front… is that something that will just happen under normal wear and tear or was it caused from the altitude climb? I find it hard to believe that it was purely the climbing because I have taken numerous types of cars up that road and never had a problem. I wouldn’t expect there to be any problems with an expedition that was in good shape.
