Seems to be getting worse, anything in excess of 40mph. There is no obvious evidence of overheating, just that the temp gauge needle pegs, and if you stop the car for a minute or two, it goes all the way down to normal. Someone suggested I flush the system, but I also suspect it could be tranny related (clogged filter?). Fluid level is fine, but I have noticed over the years that when I haven't run it for a while (~1+ year) the fluid would drip out, and I'd let it idle for a while, fluid would rush into the overflow bottle after a while. When I replenished the tranny fluid, it would be fine.
