Togo Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I COOKED MY TRANS IN THE AZ HEAT TEMP WENT UP TO 248 . PLEASE HELP. JUST GOT TO AZ. 408 390 1464 CALI CELL # 1998 4L60E trans temp went up to 248? do you have a temp gauge for your tranny?if your coolant temp got that hot - it shouldn't have cooked your tranny - my old 85 vette had seen temps as high as 260 - but that's because i dropped a waterpump.my 92 had seen temps as high as 248 also - but no cooked tranny - perhaps you should go see joe at classic gold (do a search for sloryde here on this forum to send him an email!) that just sounds too strange that high water temps cooked your tranny!

Buccaneer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I didn't know that C5s had a tranny temp gauge. I have an oil temp gauge in mine and if mine was 250 the water temp would be rather high as well I would think. At 185 water temp, my oil temp is well under 250 around 200ish. Just my .02.

Eddie44 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 You obviously don't play with your DIC enough Chris :D It's one of the readouts. I think they're oil pressure, oil temp, transmission fluid temp, coolant temp, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjayc5 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 THANKS FOR THE REFERENCE I'LL CHECK IT OUT. THE WATER TEMP WAS AROUND 200 WHEN THE TRANS SLIPPED.

Eddie44 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I wonder if it's just on the A/T models. You've got the MN6, right? Tanya and I have the A4. Just a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess! that could very well be - perhaps your A4s have the tranny temp and the MN6 has the oil temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r40734 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Auto's only. Without going into the fine details of how a transmission works, automatics require friction (internal to the tranny) for the gears to engage. High heat is, of course, bad for that. Manual transmissions directly mesh the gears together and the only friction you have to worry about is in the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donbecker Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Not to sidestep the original question, but are you sure that the only thing wrong was the tranny temp?How were the other temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chad@xtreme Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 We recommend a Xtreme Motorsports radiator with transmission cooler. I would also recommend a B&M Tanny Coolers.Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
