BW Velvet Drive?

The trans fluid will measure differently when hot versus cold. Running in neutral is the usual way to check them. Look on your dipsticks and see if they are marked hot/cold.
Velvet drive transmissions hold up well with stock power, and the main thing you need to do is make sure they don't ever get hot. If you lose a water pump impeller, always backflush the trans coolers to make sure there are no rubber chunks stuck in there.

This made me laugh.
