try checking your fluids on your transmission, you mught have a leak, or not enough fluid.. that might cause it to overheat. at least your tranny's fan kicks in when it suppose to.. give it a complete tune up, and a flush! that might help out! esspecially when it sits out for a while you need to give it some new blood.
