Default Transmission Temp guage

In the Track DIC configuration, the transmission temperature indicator never moves of the far left (cold?).

Anyone experiencing this?

Normal?

I have trans temp set in my small dash gauge. Gets off the peg but doesn’t get warm accept in summer when driving aggressively. If I Tracked, I’m sure it would increase and the M7 trans cooler behind the driver’s rear fender would earn it’s keep!

If you have the PDR in your car you can turn it on and it will log the low and high trans temp in the video data. Once you have a video on your SD card you can move the file to your PC and use the free Cosworth Toolbox to see the range of temperatures during your drive. I have seen my trans temperature vary from 85 degrees to 276 degrees when I have spent 20 minutes on track running near WOT most of the time except when I was on the brake or just rolling onto the throttle as I was driving past the apex of a turn. On the street you shouldn't see a big differential since you aren't dumping as much power through the drive train.
