04+ Trans Temp (Daily Driving)

**RivMan** · 06-13-2014

Hey guys, this is just an informal poll I'm putting together for the 04+ guys.

What is your normal normal trans temp daily driving (Stop and Go, or Freeway driving) on a hot day? I see my trans at 195+ quite a bit, but it's showing no ill effects.

Thanks

I'm showing 175-180* on our na 05 with a trans cooler from TEP. (Trans is a TEP unit too)

143 with ambient temps around 97-99. Using GM 3800 9c1 oil cooler as a trans cooler in standalone config and remote trans filter

I see 195 too no ill effects. But I will be ordering my cooler when I get back from Mexico this coming werk

Stop and go it has seen over 200*. On a highway drive it stays around 180-190.

**blownGP** · 06-14-2014

Mine stays at about 170 highway and about 190 stop and go

I have a trans cooler in mine as well. 08 GXP. Really heavy stop and go, I'll hit 195, very rarely 200. Trans is doing great. Normally I am 160-185. Highway cools it right down and sits 170.

My 2007 supercharged runs at 201 daily in 90 degree weather, gets in the 220'd up the mountain

Ours got that high. Then it started hard shifting and slipping. New filter, fluid and a bottle of Lucas didn't do the trick. I would get a cooler on your car sooner rather than later.

Since installing a Hayden 403 cooler inline with the radiator and I don't typically break 180.

**jteske88** · 06-26-2014

That's what I will be installing, had it for over a year and just sat in the box

Wow^ expensive I'm getting a 28000 gvw one for 40 bucks

**REDCRAPGP** · 06-26-2014

Well he does have a fresh transmission so I'm sure he wants it to be problem free for the long haul. Bet it cools much better then the $40 one anyways.

**theaceofspades** · 06-26-2014

I'll be putting it to the test my bank account doubled today so I'm ordered when I get home

**REDCRAPGP** · 06-26-2014

Good deal. I'll eventually get one put on when I start driving it again. Never had a issue with high temps in the past but my town is rather small and I mostly drive the hwy. so it's never to much stop and go.

**Russosaur** · 06-26-2014

Weird I know im not 04+ but I see like high 170s on the highway and it takes forever to reach that temp. Max I saw was 180-185 and in stop and go like 200. If I turn my heat on high I got it to stay at 177 on the highway. Note the ambient temps were like 85.

I do have a fresh trans built by TEP so it was just easier to order the cooler when I ordered the trans and install it all at the same time. Expensive....yes, but worth it to me. What's another $100 bucks anyway when you just ordered a $1400 trans??

Truth in that logic
