trans temp A340

[gearb0x]

Well i wouldnt be using them for any mission critical stuff

But usefull when your not made of money

[SL666]

hmm interesting, i suspect that because the fan comes on at 50 deg, in traffic, or very light load, im not getting up to temp..

might have to get a trans temp gauge too

[EldarO]

i cant tell you how hot its supposed to be, but i split a tranny hose a few weeks ago, and it was alot hotter than 50 degrees i.e. 'hurt like a mofo'-hot

Eldar.O.

[SL666]

mmMMmm tops.. im almost tempted to rig it up to run half-speed from 50 and full speed form 70.. but i suspect that full speed form 70 will be quite sufficient..

Hm, Autometer gauges seem to be around the $120 mark everywhere i have tried sofar.

[SL666]

and they are in farenheit..

[takai]

Dude, all of them are in fahrenheit.

[SL666]

all the autometer ones.. yeah.. thats why i think i might go a different way..

[chris davey]

Mine sits on 140degF or 60degC. Has gotten up to 160degF which is 71.11degC.

Remembering that I still have the stock stall converter and can't stall it up for shit.

[SL666]

interesting....

[CrUZida]

I swear mine must get hotter than that.

I've got a cooler on it, probably 15x30x2 (cm) in size, and a fan that blows on it when ever the TPS is in IDL.

And I can barely touch it after driving (at least from memory I can't)

[takai]

Hm, that is quite warm. Straight after i have been driving i can touch mine quite easily.

[CrUZida]

I'll have to test it some time soon.

[takai]

Yeah, i think a trans temp gauge is a good investment for me in this case

[SL666]

the fan on mine stonks out an awful lot of heat when its running.. and if the car has been off for a while, and i start it, after say 30 seconds, the fan will come one.. indicating that hte box is like 50deg..
