Trans temps

[the witchdoctor]

I was wondering what kind of temps you guys see on the gauges? Mine, here lately has been running as high as 210 with nothing behind it, some in town driving and some road... is this high????

100 deg over ambient is a general rule of thumb

not good! Any ideas on what would be causing them to run high> ? On the stock gauge it read like normal...

Slipping, clogged cooler, damaged/blocked cooler, low/bad fluid....that's all I can think of right now.

Just FYI, my autometer gauge will screw up sometimes and won't self calibrate at startup so it will give me a high reading when it does that. Also, my cooler was clogged so I took it off and blew it out. You also have a bypass tube that you can see connected between the input and output cooler lines on the trans itself. If you feel that line when your trans is hot and it is hot you most likely have a clogged cooler.

Thanks bro! I will check the above.. hope it is just the autometer gauge.... it has did it once before a week or so ago, then it acted normal again... anyway, will check the cooler lines....

I have the electric full sweep gauges and if that's what you have then you probably have the same issue I have about every 9 months or so
