transmission problem

[Spider. J.]

Hello every one just joined.
I've never had a problem with my legacy till I moved to Florida from Pennsylvania and ever since I've been getting to know my car more and more. the last problem was the radiator, the Latest problem is the automatic transmission being that the cooling lines run through the radiator maybe I did something wrong some one has done before. the legacy ran fine then on my way home from work the RPM's shot straight up and the car no longer wanted to move in any gear, if it got some time to cool down it would move but not for long, I've already removed the transmission pan to inspect the magnet, I haven't found any splinters but I there is some fine shavings on the magnet.
My legacy has 147,000 miles on it
so my questions are, whats a normal amount of magnet funk with normal ware and tare, can this be something of a computer problem, did my problems just get real expensive.
any help will be much appreciated thank you

Some 4EAT info.

Is your ATF Temp light on ? (Automatic Transmission Fluid)

Sounds like you may have some blockage in radiator or the pickup is blocked. Since you got the pan off look for the fluid pickup and check if its blocked by gunk.

Here is the identical problem but with no answer.. I know this doesn't help but hey at least its not a random occurrence
