Default 4L60 good temperature ??

i have an auxiliary trans cooler for my 4L60 and i am going to instal and wire in a small 21$ 7 inch fan to cool it

When i drive around town with buddies and my car gets hot i can feel the trans quality decrease when hot. i want to wire in a manual switch and just turn it on when i drive all over.

what i am wondering is if i can cool it down too much, i think no; but people keep talking in my ear

I wouldn't want to cool the ATF below 100F, but in warm weather you can probably keep the fan running at all times.

No, you are not going to run to cool, throw the cooler and fan on there and tell your buddies to worry about there own ****
