right after shutting the set off it read earlier about 6400 ohms from primary to secondary.
after sitting it still shows about 8 meg so I had guessed that the tranny was shorted and heating making it worse.

Did you disconnect
both primary leads?
If not, and one side of the primary remains connected to the B+ line, and one side of the secondary remains grounded, your ohmeter will be showing charge-up current of the filter capacitors (the meter's internal battery supplying the current).
