To be clear, the motor did not overheat -- temperature stayed at the middle of the gauge. Not sure if the transmission was actually overheating (didn't go into limp mode or anything like that) or if something else was going on. But I did clearly smell burning trans oil, which can't be a good sign. I was also probably doing the climb (a little bit) faster than the 300D would have done it
