Your transmission is over heating. You may have an overdrive problem.

Cloged trans cooler will cause over heat and puking out of the vent.Check for restiction by blowing air and then some brake cleaner followed by more air.If its bad it will build pressure instead of flow.

Here in the great white northwest(B.C. Canada) we see this all the time on many models. This is caused usually by front seal inversion. This is a phenomenon due to poor venting, cooling, excessive heat, big trailers, and driver error. It usually happens on a long uphill, on a hot day(85 F or better). This seal will normally revert to it's normal state as the trans cools, causing confusion of owners, and mechanics as there is no obvious leak. Tow truck drivers in the mountains are quite familiar with this problem. Fill the trans up, and go again, if you didn't burn it up.
This circumstance can be avioded by manually downshifting, if possible, out of OD before hills, and an occaisional look under the vehicle to check for accumulated dust etc. which might plug the vents. Checking often for clogged trans and gear box vents is recommended. Mud wasps love tubing. Regularly washing the external area of the radiator, AC condenser, and trans cooler if present, might avoid this. Often, the overdrive is ruined by this happening.
Just a Guess, Mike

I just had a tranmission fluid puke from my 89 Ford Ranger PU after a hard climb uphill last week. Upon consultation with an experienced mechanic, he advised me to wait for the vehicle to cool for at least three hours or overnight then fill the tranny fluid up to level and drive it home. To my surprised, it worked like he stated. My best trouble shooting guessed is that my truck transmission overheated and blew the front tranny seal. When the tranny cooled, it must have created a vacuum in the tranny to sucked the seal back in. Does anyone know of a remedy to prevent this from happening?
