Tranny temp question
Shouldn't tranny temps be close to engine temps?
My engine was at 183 today and My tranny temps were at 217!!!
What's up with that?
I recently just had an external tranny cooler installed as well and it's not much better.
Thanks,George

unless you were driving hard I think that is a little high esp with a cooler. My trans temps are around my coolant temps except in the summer, they can be a little higher esp in the city

Thanks same to you! There is a kit with a temp sens fan set up(B&M?). I thought that is what you went with. Did you go with a DeWitts rad change?
