When you say overheating are you loosing coolant or getting any trouble codes? If your inching pedal is out of adjustment it can cause high transmission temps that lead to overheating.

I have had plastic fan blades get worn and not move air well. Usually this is with lots of idling and i haven't seen this on any cat/mitsu yet but if your stumped it's worth looking at.
