Driving on D you will face this problem frequently, try driving in manual mode on the by lanes in traffic that helps a lot to understand when to switch.

Often getting stuck and trying for self recoveries also may cause transmission overheat. Continuous switching between the gears D-R-N to recover from a stuck may heat transmission, especially if the weather is hot.

Update: 2016 Pajero SWB, front bashplate fitted. Second drive with Carnity March 26. 

24 degrees at start and up to 40 degrees celsius by end of drive, no stucks or refusals, used Tiptronic shift exclusively (2nd and 3rd gears only) No overheating at all.

Do any of these setups VOID your warranty?  I was informed by one garage that additional fan will not VOID it but just seeking more opinions/ knowledge

Sorry for all the questions...but since you have fixed the fan can you recommend a garage and if cost estimate. I see AED250 from a garage in Sharjah
