New thoughts from previous post on warmer than average engine oil and trans temp?

[BetMinesFaster]

Hey guys, I made a post previously about engine oil temps and transmission temps, They seemed warm to me averaging like 220-230 each, This may be a stupid question but I have attached some photos to figure out if the crossover pipe may be the problem here, its literally 1/16 inch away form the front of the transmisssion pan the entire width and .030 from the oil pan!?!? I added some pictures, Could this be aiding in the higher than normal temps? Any info would be nice, thanks, Ryan

hell ya that could be the problem. that thing is going to heat that pan and the fluid fast.
