Any idea what would make my trans temps jump up. Usually I can barely break 140*. Today on the hwy it slowly crept up to 170* and doesnt cool as fast. It fluctuates between 160-170 driving on the hwy and in town.
I even let it idle for about 5 min and it barely dropped the temps. Like I said it has been hard for me to break 140*. Trans is a full built NADP race trans with maybe 5k miles on it.
Is there anything that could restrict flow to the cooler or plug up in the trans and cause it to run hotter ?
I have the 6.0L cooler and deep sump pan on it, the trans doesnt seem to show any signs of slippage in any gear.
Fluid is red and still smells fine. Dont think its the gauge because the pan does feel hot.
