So last winter i had a full rebuild done on my transmission. It did not go smoothly and the shop was a bi*ch to deal with, you can read about it on previous threads i started if you wish. Anyways now something new has popped up and wanted to know if its actually a problem or not.


Last summer my transmission would sit around 200-206F after long amounts of city driving, alot of stop and go and rush hour pretty much. Highways it was usually around 194F.


Today i notice after about 30 min of driving in rush hour with the outside temp at 74F my transmission temp was 222. Alot higher than it ever got last summer, so is this too high? and is there anything small i could do to help the problem? like changing the transmission fluid to a quality brand synthetic? because i am sure the shop used some cheap house brand dino crap.
