trans temp question I just finish installing my new circle d converter and my rebuilt performabuilt trans. i took the car out on a 30 mile trip and the trans temp readings on my interceptor gauge got up to 203 but on my gauge that has a sending unit in trans pan was reading was 180. I installed the new hayden cooler they sent me. before i had the trans rebuilt my temps on the interceptor never went above 185. im really confused on whats causing it to run so hot. any ideas? |
is this converter looser than the old one-what happens on lockup |
i dont think it is my vig was really lose and what do you mean |
They are being measured in different locations thus different temp readings. 200 is not too hot. I have my gauge in the pressure port it runs about 20 degrees hotter then one in the pan. The intercepter reads back from inside the trans also. |
yeah i figured as much. i just have not seen it run that hot when its 40* outside |
The stock sending unit is in the valve body and does seem to show about 20-30 hotter then low mounted pan sending unit. Perfectly normal. |
that makes sense i still am a little puzzled as to y the trans got so hot the other night |

Not trying to highjack the thread, but I am having just the opposite problems. I'm curious as to whether my trans gauge is working right or not. I got it out the other day (first time I've had the car out with the gauge installed) and I never seen temps over 150. Its a Autometer sport comp, sender is mounted in pressure port about shift linkage. Any ideas?? |
im not running it through the radiator and im not really sure the size its just just the one performabuilt sent me |
