Thread: Transmission getting hot

04+ cars will see 200-220º for trans temps all the time.

I've noticed trans temps can be high with the wife driving. As soon as the TC locks up she tends to let off the throttle, causing the TC to unlock. Lots of TC abuse going on.

Unacceptable.

I've been saying it forever now. External transmission cooler.

^^^ im thinking about getting one of those, i see 220 all the time

Guys.. I'm a 2000 Re(al car)gal and driving through the hills of PA last weekend with temps hovering at 100F, my engine temp saw closer to 200F than the 195 stat in there and the trans averaged about 200F, got as high as 215F. Even at 215F, we are still well within the normal operating range. Sure it's a warmer than I'd like..but if I were walking up that hill.. my temps would have risen much more than the 15 degrees or so that the trans did.

My trans hit 240* comming through Virginia last month with a full trunk and 3 passengers lol. I want to try the external cooler we have at advance.

Yeah 240 is hot

I hit 216 on the trans temp yesterday.

It was 96 with a heat indext of 104 and I was in some traffic. I really want to get an external cooler put on to help that temp out.

Mine was about 160 yesterday
