These 6 and 8 speed auto transmissions have a thermostat that does NOT allow the trans fluid to circulate thru the radiator until the fluid reaches approx 220* Way too late--Does not matter if it is in a Corvette or Camaro or Silverado---Most transmission shops do a "thermostat delete" on these transmissions that allows the fluid to cool immediately without the thermostat thru the radiator --- This will cool the trans temps about 20-25* !!! It is a simple mod----Look it up online
"6L80 transmission fluid thermostat delete " and it will walk you thru the simple mod that will make these transmission live !!! by lowering the fluid temps

I was speaking generically about most all GM 6L80's
No one, particularly on a forum about CORVETTES, in a thread SPECIFICALLY talking about issues on an A6 on a C6, would interpret your response to NOT be about Corvette's. I'll leave it at that.
