Tranny help (lulz)
Alright so I just can't find the answer anywhere maybe I'm searching stuff wrong or something.. but anyway
Last night I took my 10' ra for a drive but even before I could get out of my driveway the "Transmission Overheating, Slow Down" warning popped up for like a good 5 seconds then disappeared. when I seen that I did put it in park for a couple seconds then put it back in gear and it wasn't moving just sitting there revving. I turned the car off then waited a couple seconds before putting it in drive and once I did, everything was fine and drove her off. Tonight I started the car let her warm up and everything was fine took her for a drive with no problem but when I came back and just as I was about to park, the warning popped up again! But I just turned the car off and walked away..
Current mod list:
Ultimate Racing upper intercooler pipping
Ultimate Racing lower intercooler pipping
Ultimate Racing front mount intercooler 4.5"
Ultimate Racing catless test pipe
Ultimate Racing catback single exit exhaust
Notes*
I did not let the car warm up.
I didn't gas it too much in my driveway just let the car roll.
tranny fluid changed at 50k.
I was in sport mode.
Also had one more thing too ask. Is it better to drive in sport mode normally rather than normal mode?
If anyone could give me some Info that'd be great!
Thanks in advance!!!

I don't see any issue with your mods nor does Sport vs Manual make a difference in this case.
I suspect the temp sensor is failing.
Yes, driving in Sport mode is better than Normal mode because it decreases clutch wear a wee bit (higher clutch pressure means less slippage). BUT! Because sport mode keeps the revs sooo high for daily driving - it requires you to be changing gears manually. Which, once you are used to shifting manually, you will not want to go back to auto unless it is traffic or you want cruise control

I'm in Sport Manual 100% of the time. I can't stand the way it shifts in Normal Auto and I can feel the clutch slip in Normal Manual. Only time I switch to Normal is to use cruise control on the highway.
4.5" is a huge intercooler for the stock turbo. Are you sure it wasn't upgraded also?

Nah, leave the IC alone...
If it was me - I would I would get the car professionally tuned - just to ensure previous owner didn't do more mods and re-flashed the car back to the stock basemap to sell it. If you have other mods (not counting the IC and piping) like a test pipe or other mods can cause the car to go lean at wide open throttle which is badbadbad...

I've noticed that the warning will pop up when I'm reversing and coming to a park, like RIGHT before I park it'll pop up saying slow down and then transmission service required then it'll go right way. would you still think its a sensor problem?
