Today I was driving on the highway and city and noticed my trans was running 200. And I'm guessing that's hot. What can I do to lower the temp other then a trans cooler. Please help thanks

200 isnt hot, thats a normal temp for it to be around.
Other than changing the fluid and filter and running a trans cooler, you can't really do anything to reduce the temps.
Just add a trans cooler and call it good
How hot is to hot tho? I know with my cummins truck 210-250 is frowned upon. My 04 comp G runs 200-210 and Ive seen it hit 230 on a windy uphill section using the tap shift. Are these gauges really that accurate?
They are accurate. I don't like mine over 180 but that's just me
If you see it get above 230*, that's probably getting too hot.
Old fluid does not dissipate heat well. Git sum phresh.
To flush or not to flush ?
How often? I just got one with 82,500 on it with no maintenance records.
Flush if you want to and don't be surprised if your trans needs rebuilding afterwards. Stock with a pan drop.
Thanks
Picking car up right now. They said they flushed it and I told the not to and they didn't replace the trans filter. Idiots!!
They didn't replace the filter?
Slash their tires.
Flush probably won't hurt anything. The filter is super important, though. Get that fixed.
And since you're not taking the car to that mechanic anymore (Right?), unhook your battery for a half hour to let the trans settings reset for the new fluid.
Well these bastards dicked around and 2 hrs later tell me they got a defective gasket and the car won't be ready until tomorrow. I told then the least they can do is replace that filter. Sad part is that I will not know if they actually change it. I'm going to call in the morning and request that I see it.
