Built 4L60e trans temp??
I have a built 4L60e with a yanks ss3600 after market cooler but no fan on it. What should the temperature be? I have the sending unit in the side of the trans not on the trans pan. Should I put a fan on the cooler??
Thanks for the help

I am assuming it is in my pressure port? I was told to put it there
The cooler is a 35,000 gvw cooler
It's about 80 degrees here but will get up in the 90's depending on the day.

IMO you should put the cooler on the condenser if you can, as it will get better air flow. Just like you, I have a built trans with an ss3600 and see temps at 175 at most in 80 degree weather driving around town and that is reading off the pcm which reads about 10 degrees higher than a pan mounted temp gauge. My cooler is a big tube/fin on the condenser.

So far during normal driving it hangs around 160-165. When racing on the street it goes to 185. I'm going to a fan on the cooler and hope to keep it around 140ish.
