Overheating

How are you bleeding air from system ? Suggest bleeding air from system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.

We are bleeding the system from the little bleeder valve above the thermostat

It sounds like air trapped in the system to me too. Sometimes helps to drain and refill with the car parked facing uphill. That seems to allow the air to come up and out of the system more easily.

Its not overheating anymore. The only problem now is that the transmission oil gets super hot in town while driving around making the car shift hard. We are going to put on a aftermarket fan to see if that helps it out.

I'm curious about how you know what the temperature of the transmission fluid is.

It has a digital reader on the dashbord that tells you the temp of the transmission fluid what direction you are going and the outside temp among other things.

i didn't know that feature even existed. Wish I had that on my car. Anyway, did some googling and your transmission is way too hot. Aftermarket fans are not going to solve the problem. There is something wrong with your transmission and the sooner you get it to a shop and have it evaluated and fixed the better are your chances that you won't have to have it rebuilt, or buy a different car.
