There is wiring harness that goes into the transmission pan that does have a temp sensor on it that sometimes fail. It a fairly easy DIY but I wouldn't go there without more troubleshooting. And, there are other reasons the transmission could be overheating, if in fact, you verify that is the case.
As an aside, how did you verify the transmission is filled to the proper level?

I mean I have to have some sort of trust in my local mechanic that he knows what he is doing. It took about 7-8L when it was refilled. Properly filled going through all the gears, driving, back on the lift and fillled again until overflow.
