I'd hate to be a hot tranny, both ****s and junk getting all sweaty....one of the pair is bad enough

 

[Jeff C]

Dang! My ST sits at 181 @ 80mph on the interstate.

Why don't you take a drive over here to Phoenix and see what happens...were not even getting started with hot weather yet.

It's unseasonably hot out here in Northern California where Bill & I live. We don't usually get up into the 100's until June or July. Plus we did not get enough rain fall or water content in the snow this year, and some places have started water rationing already.

It's 65 in southeast Texas this morning...

Bill, good info to post for everyone. You might look into buying or building a true outside air intake, that will help some on the heated air going into the engine. The factory thermostat is set to open fully at 200 or more. As far as the tranny temp that sounds pretty good if that is the temp of the coolant in the tranny.Good Post._Ron
