Default Couple problems.....

first my tranny seem to have over heated the other day as i was racing uh driving fast on the highway in power mode. It started smoking and leaked out some fluid from somewhere in the bottom. But thank god after i let it cool off it has been fine since(month or so now).

What could this be? It was hot outside(90 degrees) but i don't think that should happen even if i am doing 140mph.


Next problem happen just idling. it was very hot 106degrees out to be exact. i had the AC and radio on and my navi started to flicker and then the car just shut off and i needed a boost to get it started again. The battery light was on till i drove for like 1mile and then it turned off and i haven't seen it since(1 week). Could this mean my alternator going? i put a multi meter on it and with the AC on and radio on i was getting 13.8v at idle. Do ya think it was maybe cuz it was just too hot that day?
