Trans temp?

Hey guys, I just got my trans temp gauge installed.. My ? is, what's the normal temp that I should be running without having any problems?
Thanks guys!

i would guess 150-165?.... i dont see a stall listed in your mods....

I do have one bud, 3k stall... Still the same temp?

I will take a gamble and say its still around the same........ whats the guage say?..

Yea ive always heard no higher than 180. the cooler the better...

did you bypass the radiator when you installed your cooler??... If so .. change that back around...... and make sure it goes into the rad then to the cooler in front and back to the trans......

Mine runs 200-210 summer time in louisiana. In the winter, takes about 15-20 miles or more to get up to 100 if its around 30 degrees. I dont have a cooler though. Its been beat on for 140,000 miles and ran at these temps since Nov 2003, still kicking.

Normal operating temp is around 175. 195-215 is starting to get a little warm and anything over 250 is not good. If you haven't already, I would flush and change the fluid. Here's a graph to give you an idea, but IMO the cooler the better for the most part.

What cooler are you using?
