What's your tranny run?

[TDC]

Tech transmission temp that is. Thread is for tech pack data only please.

Now that people are monitoring their Tech pack transmission temps. with OBD readers and Forscan modified factory systems I thought it would be a good idea to accumulate data about temps.

Please include how the temperature was measured (OBD, Forscan mod. factory system, add on temp gauge), driving conditions (track, hard street driving, heavy traffic, easy cruising, car loaded with friends/family, etc.), the ambient temperature and what temp range the tranny ran within.

I'll start. Readings from Kiwi3 OBD using OBD Fusion app.
1) Auto-x in 100 degree heat and the tranny temp on my tech pack got to 215F. It was a 2nd gear course and had (6) runs with about 10 minutes between runs; hood open between most runs.

2) Ride home in NYC stop and go traffic in 100 degree heat the tranny hit a max of 228.

How do I modify the thread title? Should read "What does your tranny run"

Just went on a drive for about an hour. 75 Degrees at night. Temp got to 202 max, normal driving, nothing over 5k.

Driving, for me, pretty hard for approx. 30 minutes, ambient temp 95-100. First 20 minutes on windy roads with straightaways allowing up to 100 mph. Last 10 minutes multiple turns and hairpins, all second and third gear, climbing from around 500 ft. to 3500 ft. Last mile or two I saw 275 degrees on my Ngauge so I backed off a bit, anticipating limp mode which never happened.

I'll get in this thread next week or maybe this weekend. All pieces to turn the temp gauge on should arrive tomorrow.

Great thread!

3 hours in 60% around town traffic and 40% highway traffic in 92 degree weather, the trans peaked at 232 and the differential went to 204F.

My normal drive home from work is about an hour, outside temperatures vary from 88 to 76 since I travel about 35miles each way. First part is stop and go traffic it was a steady rise from 150 to about 200. 2nd part of the drive is some twisties for about 20mins, I was stuck behind of line of cars so no hard driving 2nd and 3rd gear most of the way, maxed out about 233. I am using OBDII reader and the Torque app.

I am curious to see what it is when I get to drive a little harder. They just graveled my normal ride to work so probably going to be a couple weeks before I take my car over it again.

Drove through some city traffic and then some winding roads, slightly uphill and back took about 3 hours.

26*C (79*F) during midday. Trans Temp got to 103*C (217*F) max, normal driving, a few burst here and there nothing to aggressive mostly 3rd and 4th gears. I am using OBDII reader(KIWI) and the Torque app on Phone.

Shall keep monitoring and report back..

[MENTION=22031]JN66[/MENTION] did you ask your dealership to turn on that Trans Temp feature on the center display, where they able to help you?

I turned on the dash display transmission temp reading this week. It's been a muggy week between 95 to 100 degrees here in MD. I averaged between 195 to 210 degrees during normal driving. Most drives where about 30 miles one way with a 70/30℅ Highway/City mix. Going to do more spirited driving over the weekend to see what happens.

How did you get a differential reading? I thought we didn't have a sensor?

They did try but said with their software they weren't able too.

I have an OBDII waiting for me at home and I will be purchasing a Windows laptop to download Forscan on too and will get it turned on over the weekend.

Highway speeds in sixth, 85-90 ambient temperature, my trans is running up to 215.
When I get off onto secondary roads with non aggressive driving/shifting, temps go to 225.
Thanks TDC for starting this thread, I was thinking of doing the same

I installed a seperate transmission and differential sensors wired to gauges I mounted in the cockpit.

The differential sensor uses the factory sensor hole, for the transmission I needed to drill a mounting hole on the opposite side of the transmission case in the mounting flange. That is why I was interested in confirming the OBD signal for the transmission temperature. My sensor reads about 3-4 degrees cooler than the OBD reading.

dont all trannies run here?

Lol. In this era, car guys are going to need some new shorthand for vehicle components
