This is the car with the oil pan skid plate and the larger diameter tires? Tell your son to drive it in 3rd on those dirt roads until you install a 1997 tranny. The 1997 allows you to down shift to second and it stays there until you come to a full stop, then shifts to 1st. Very nice for hilly and slow driving.
The engine rpms determine the tranny fluid pump speed, so slow rpm will not cool the fluid enough. Besides, in Texas, all cars should have an aux tranny cooler.
