Re:Tranny Temp

[quote author=RATTLINRAM link=board=4;threadid=13888;start=0#131142 date=1051143798] The chart is nice, but are we to assume that those temps are taken from the oil in the pan? My temp probe is located about 6-8" before the hot trans line enters the heat exchanger on the side of the block. Therefore, my temps are read before any cooling is done to the fluid. In this location, I have seen the temps rise to 240-250* by the time I made the top of a grade when towing the 5er in the mountains. However, the temp drops pretty quick once you level out. This appears to me that the fluid as a whole, did not get that hot when it can cool back down to 150-160*. Am I wrong in my way of thinking? ??? [/quote] I would agree with you. Mine never get above 160 or so, but my sender is on the pan.

Re:Tranny Temp

I am talking about the temp of the oil exiting the transmission that is the temp that tells you how the trans is operating and what the temp is that the clutches are operating under. The pan temp is not able to be converted to a useable number to know the operating temp of the trans. Bruce
