Most automatic transmissions fail due to a breakdown of the transmission fluid caused by overheating. This chart provides a graphic display of  heats contribution to transmission failure. The effect is also cumulative. Short term exposure to high heat levels (or even prolonged  exposure to moderate heat) can break down the fluid to the point where even very short episodes of overheating will lead to failure.
