So I got my pillar gauges and one of the ones I decided on was the Trans Temp gauge. Now, its bad enough that i even have to ask this stupid question...but what would be a high, normal, and low running temp for the trans to run at (be it on the track or during normal every day driving)... at least if i know this...i wont feel like a total jackass for having the gauge...and it might actually have some use haha thank you all... hahaha
yeah i just want to have some knowledge of what i am looking at haha...so that in the event that someone asks im not like DEERRR IT LOOKS COOL hahaha
now this is quite the informative answer from one of our so called "experts"............. hehehehehehe............:thumb:
ooooooooo, now that was just low......... i would have at least pontificated about what the numbers should be by actually spouting off an actual temp, and then acted as if i was the foremost expert and should not be questioned...... oh wait, that is someone else...... hahahahahaha :whistle:
just playing steve!! hahahaha yes, one can ACT like me, but to be me......well that is an entirely different story!! hahahahahaa :ilovesrtc:
I seem to remember someone saying something like 220 is too hot to be running a trans at? Not like it's going to go up in a ball of flame or anything but that you want it to be running cooler than that. I think mine generally runs around 170? and gets to 200? I really don't pay attention to it. You should rename the thread title to "Trans Temp?" and you'd probably get a lot more response.
I recall seeing somewhere that you can expect an average transmission temp of around 20 degrees less than your engine temp. under normal driving conditions.
