The auto box on the kv6 does have a temperature limiter for the box inside , that allows only basic use , once the box gets too hot . After cooling down it reverts back to normal operation. I experienced it once after some ... shall we say "spirited driving " .. on a very warm day , and maybe the cooler would have helped keep the engine/box cooler .. but doubtful ..
