Default Engine gear set overheating

Last week I took one of my Exceed Forza for a spin on the road ; weather was cool in Repentigny Quebec ,
and after 4 or 5 runs at high speed I noticed that the Engine gear set
was very hot and smoking and when I took it in the shop the gear housing O/D turned dark blue from the heat.
what do you think happenned in there??
The car is still running fine but I'm affraid to run it at high speed again .
Engine was removed and with a sand belt I removed the discoloration
did not strip any further.

Thanks Andy
