it's possible that with such an old trans with probably lots of miles that the front trans fluid pump is worn and that when it heats up the fluid pressure drops off somewhat which could cause your flaring shifts since they are made by fluid pressure.you have a trans fluid cooler in the bottom of the radiator and perhaps the best thing for you would be to add an aux air to air cooler to that.pickups used to employ this trick when being used to tow heavy weights which would keep fluid temps down.also poss that replacing the radiator would up the cooling of the fluid.
