I have done a fluid and filter change with no improvement. I've also done the cable adjustment. You mentioned that you replaced the 2-3 shift valve on you and Tony's sharks. Is this part of some type of shift kit? I found a place online that sells Merc trans parts. They offer some valve body kits for improved shifting. Do you have any experience with these folks? I think I found the trannys that would be in the 928. Check out the link and let me know. I will probably be contacting you for some more info on the 1st gear start mod.

Perhaps a bad thermostat, IRRC the tranny doesnt circulate the fluid to the cooler unless it has too?
I have to do a bit of research on this also as i have yet to mount my tranny temp guage.
How do you know it IS running hot??
My tranny has seen its fair share of abuse since SC'ing. I highly dobut your going to overheat the tranny during your typical 928 driving..even if you are hard on it.
