Does anyone know the optimum operating temperature range of the 901, and/or the the temp. at which accelerated wear becomes an issue?

I don't think the speedo drive is a particularly good spot to measure temps because it does not see much oil and is far from what creates the heat.
I measure temps in the fill plug. Stock 3 liter motor running Miller's transmission fluid. It's a track only car. Without cooling, it will go north of 275 pretty easy. With a cooler and a blower on the cooler, it will run 250 if you are really pushing. 200 is pretty normal. In my experience, shifting problems start around 250+ |
