Is this too hot? Doo I need additional cooling? Or a tranny cooler?
Ideally you can get a tranny temp gage so you know what is going on in the transmission. If the transmission is getting too hot, the engine can follow it as the main radiator cannot take out enough heat.
And if you do not have an aux tranny cooler and you are towing, I would suggest getting one.
Hope this helps
