Hello everybody!
I need your input on the average temperatures of your automatic transmissions?
I run a TH400 equipped with a deep pan (cooling fins), stock lines going to the engine radiator, and a temperature sensor in the out-line of the transmission. The reading it gives is around 175°F - 210°F during the usual stop & go traffic madness. On the highway its around 160°F. The difference to the engine-temperature is minimal
Should I hook up an additional cooler or is the temperature still within acceptable range? I don't want to run the transmission to cool though (apparently this can happen on a TH400), but the ATF-viscosity is best at low temperatures, giving better shifts. I use Comma AQ3 and was told it would handle heat a lot better.
