This weekend after a 40 minute stint on the track, we saw our transmission temps getting to 247F. That is on a day were it was about 45F ambient and we had the pump and cooler running.
Doing some research, the answers I've heard on safe temperatures are all over. The oil is good to 300F according to the manufacturer and some folks say they run there, but that seems really hot. Most folks say they like to be around 225F. We just rebuilt the transmission and set the R+P to the factory backlash setting of .007", but we're going to open the transmission up and loosen things up a bit.  |
