Yeah that isn’t right. I’d avoid driving it until you have it figured out.

I would want to re check fluids, and it’s probably worth a pan drop to see what is in there. Possibly a clogged filter, or filter that the media has failed. Beyond that it could be the pump, torque converter, clutch packs, etc.

Are you sure it isn’t stuck in some higher gear and the TC is just shearing the fluid like crazy?
