Trans temps?

[Crazi]

I am tryin to figure out what is too hot for a street driven tranny? Mine runs about 180+ or so on the street and in heavy traffic today it got to 210 for short periods (2-3 mins). I turned the fans on high and put the trans in neutral while waiting at the lights but I am thinking I need to get another or a larger tranny cooler. Any advice?

Right now I have a Fluidyne FPH-10029 which is 18x8.75x1 and is different then most coolers I have seen.
Is 200 too hot to be running consistantly? I am using MobilFluid but am thinking I am going to pick up another cooler of the same size and type this week to put on. Can the trans be too cool? They will both be in front of the rad and the coolant temps have only gotten to 190 once for a few minutes but generally is in the 175-180 range.

FYI, this temp is the outlet temp before it goes through the cooler. I have dual fans and an external oil cooler with a fan under the battery. Thanks!!

Thats about right. Wrong place tho. Measure it after the cooler. Bet it is 20-40 degrees cooler...

Thanks Bruce! I have a remote filter setup to filter the fluid before it goes through the cooler so in case something breaks, I don't have to replace the cooler. The temp sender screws in between the inlet and outlet.

I saw a post during my search about you using two coolers. I think I may do that for peace of mind. Another one of the coolers I have on now. At what temp on the outlet side should I be worried?

At 230 or so I would be nervous. It should run a constant 180 or so.

Why would you want to measure the trans temp after the cooler? Wouldn't you want to measure the tempature at the hottest point ie. the outlet? Also what would a normal trans temp be as measured at the cooler outlet?

Thanks
