Tranny overflow temp

What temp should a MB with a 2400 stall be puking fluid out the top. when cruisin around town i get temps up to 195-210 and it will puke fluid out the top of the tranny. Is this normal for this temp? I plan on adding a extra cooler in line tomorow. just want to see where i stand on temp.

Before I had the Superduty cooler installed my tranny temps would hit 200-210 on a hot day but never puked fluid. They stay in the 160-170 range with the cooler on a hot day. This is on a BTS tranny with a PI 2600 converter.

I have a LFP tranny cooler and 2400 stall. Never been over 170 so far, even on a very hot day.

got up to 210 today and it puked a good bit out. It only does it when it gets up to about 195 and above. MY temp gauge is mounted in the port on the side of the tranny so i might not be reading the hotest temp either. Im installing a small 3 pass tube/ fin cooler about 7" x 12" hope it helps get em down a little bit.

Man, anything above 200 is too hot. Ypu definitely need to resolve that. Putting the small cooler in there should help, but I hope you haven't already done damage by running it that hot.
