The metallurgy, clutch materials, hardness specs, seals, fluid spec. Name one transmission in a light duty vehicle that had a 200f operating temp unloaded by design? Quit pretending, other than planetary gears, it is a new world. The Toyota's trans is not the same, but the point is.
Uh, do you know where the Toyota 5.7L trans runs its ATF temps? You better check yourself. They run around 200 constantly and is thermostatically controlled.
And its great you found a trans that can lock up in all gears dating back to 2000. Way to go. Now find another, current trans that does. May be this is common today and I am not up to speed, but heck if this is common knowledge even for those who pay attention to this stuff.
