Low coolant probable cause of overheating. Refill reservoir with water and check for coolant loss via the weep hole on your water pump (best seen from under car). Coolant loss there indicates faulty shaft seal and the location is such that lost coolant is likely to splash on top of tranny when car in motion.
WP probably has to be replaced, at which time proper anti-freeze/water ratio for coolant can be restored to 50/50.
