If its getting hot in 5 mins you'd imagine that the clutches are slipping and heating the oil up or something along those lines. Depending on how long you want to keep the car and how much you are willing to spend to get it fixed will determine your next step. If it was me I'd put some of that auto trans stop slip stuff in the oil - that will make the clutches grip a bit better and reduce the heat (if thats the problem).
It's less than $15 for a tin and compared to the cost of a reco trans ($2000) it's peanuts.
