Default Operating Temp?

Is there a specific operating temp for a 4l60?

Nobody?

I'm just curious how critical it is to keep the transmission at a certain temp?

185 is pretty good. 200 is roughly about where you start scorching fluid and burning up parts.

In a trans cooler is better. Run a nice cooler and try and keep it around 180. Mine runs 174 under normal conditions with the converter locked, and 190's beating on it with the converter unlocked. I filled it with Mobil 1 synthetic to help out with the temp issues.
