tranny temp between 180-200 during driving
k i think have a problem, my tranny temp gauge gets up to about 180degrees within 10 min of normal driving in 60 degree weather, it doesnt feel like anything is slipping in the tranny and shifts smooth. why would my temps be getting this high??

It is probably your bypass line, they are known to go bad. Some folks eliminate them. Your temps aren't near dangerous levels but they shouldn't be that high in umloaded winter driving. Get the trans up to temp and grab the bypass line. If it is warm the bypass valve is bad and you need to replace the line. Good Luck NCH |

Definitely check the bypass and make sure the fluid is flowing to the stock tranny cooler. My original tanny ran hot like that. I put a trans go tugger shift kit in it and a 40k Trucool aux tranny cooler on it and that made it last another 3 years and 65,000 miles before I finally smoked it. Changing to a synthetic like Amsoil might also be a good idea.

To add to what everyone else is saying.. make sure your temp sensor is taking readings from the service port on the driver side of the trans.
