First Issue: A/T Temp Oil Light...
Background...I drove in 2H on the beach & the A/T Temp sensor came on, followed by a fire where there was a slight amount of transmission fluid coming out which caught fire. I had a shop in the Seattle area drop the transmission pan, replace the filter & do a fluid flush.
Now, on a couple of easyish trails, the A/T Temp light has come on a couple of times.
Could I have damaged something in the transmission which is now causing the transmission fluid to run hot by driving in 2H on the beach, or did the shop screw something up?
Second Issue: The same shop I had do the fluid flush, I also had replace the power steering pump. It worked for a couple days, and then, power steering went out again. A week later, again. and now, a month later, struggling again. Twice, I took it back to that shop, and they claimed that a new power steering pump for an 80 is just difficult to get all the air out. Twice, they both lifted the vehicle up in the front and turned wheels side to side, as well as leaving it on the ground turning side to side. It seemed to clear it up short term, but it's repetitive. Any advice to get the new power steering up to function properly?
TIA for any tips/guidance!
