What should my transmission oil temp be?

175 to 220 degrees
The optimal temperature range for transmission fluid is 175 to 220 degrees. Above that, for every 20 degrees bad things happen, starting with formation of varnish at 240 degrees, followed by seals hardening, plates slipping, seals and clutches burn out, carbon is formed, and, ultimately, failure.

What should the transmission fluid temperature be in a corvette?

In order to properly and accurately check your transmission fluids, the transmission fluid temperature must be between 86 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the vehicle to warm up until the transmission fluid temperature hits this mark. if you have been driving already, allow it to cool down to hit the mark.

What is the normal transmission temperature for a car?

Keeping the transmission temperature between 175 and 200 degrees will allow the fluid to last the longest. This is the normal operating temperature for a transmission. Remember the fluid is the life line or blood of the transmission. Damage to the transmission fluid begins at 225 degrees.

What should oil pressure be on a 1997 corvette?

1997-2011 LS engines idle with 20-30PSI of oil pressure typically. On a hot day after the engine and drivetrain has warmed up, it is possible to see 15PSI at idle without any concern. The main thing to watch for is a rise in pressure once in gear.

What should the transmission temperature be to last the longest?

What is the optimum temperature for the longest life of the transmission? Keeping the transmission temperature between 175 and 200 degrees will allow the fluid to last the longest. This is the normal operating temperature for a transmission. Remember the fluid is the life line or blood of the transmission.

What causes the transmission fluid to overheat?

Almost all transmissions fail from a breakdown of the transmission fluid. This is caused by overheating the transmission fluid. Not only is the temperature critical but also how long the transmission is exposed to the particular temperature.
