Ok so i got to looking at my trans temp and it stays around 160ish to 190ish...
and i was told that if i do anything to my car (upgrade wise) that i need a trans cooler...if im rasing hell in it, using my "taps" to shift up and down i can get it up to 207. im not much on transmissions so i dont know what the limit is and what it should stay around.... and i just got my CAI thanks to steveman0018 so..... its safe right???

 

mine on hot days will get to 212. cooler days it is 190-200. i havent drove it lately to see what it runs in the cold weather that we have now tho

 

well when its 110 out side and im running the **** out of it i may on a very rare occasion see 201

 

in Manual mode, tiptronic shifting, no problem hitting 220-240F.....

nominal temps summer 200F
nominal temps winter 190F

 

good god man. 240 thats kicking ***... so anybody got an idea of what tep cooks the fluid and frys the tranny?

 

not sure about Dextron IV temperature degradation, but i do know my fluid is burnt, now that it's at the garage for another tranny...

i could understand my temps running that high in City driving during the summers, not highway driving @ 70mph(which is 95% of my driving)...

 

This should give you a good idea:

 

As for my trans, I have a mobilehome-sized cooler on it, and even in 100+ degree weather, I haven't seen anything higher than 178 since my TEP upgrades.

 

Where's the f'n GN?

 

Normal operating temp. is 180 to 200F.

 

Sold it and bought an LS1 car. I got tired of seeing the GN deteriorate in the driveway.

 

ok so its safe to say i need a trans cooler... thanks guys

 

With a Hayden cooler I see anywhere from 150-203 degrees, the only way it goes over 200 is if I am pounding on it from stoplight to stoplight a bunch, or if I am climbing a huge hill in low gear. The highest I have seen since the Hayden upgrade is 203, before that I would hit 212 in normal driving. I would say the cooler gives a 20-30 degree difference.
