Now for my dumb question of the month (and I did search BTW)......
I just installed a B&M trans cooler in front of my radiator and this also gave me the opportunity to finally hook up my temperature gauge so I have no idea what temperature range it ran at before the cooler install.
The temp sensor is installed in the line from the radiator "out" before the external cooler. I was going to put the sensor just before the trans but with where I wanted to mount the sensor tee it just worked out better this way from a tidiness standpoint. :wink:
Anyway on my maiden voyage the trans, at most, briefly reached a temp of 150 but generally it hung around 125-ish. The engine coolant holds steady at 160-165 and the outside temp was in the low 60's. I didn't flog it much, just a neighborhood run and some highway cruising (about an hour total).
Seems a bit cool to me.....and this temp is pre-cooler......any reason for concern and/or any compelling reason to move the sensor?
