Marc, is this just cruising down the road or is it after a couple 1/4 mile passes?

 

[marc75]

just cruising down the road is about 200-205 but after a couple of hard shift it climb to 215....can't wait to go at the track but im worry about the temp

 

[sickdiesel]

whats the outside temp up there in Quebec?

 

[marc75]

last 2 days was 85-90....im about 125 over outside

 

[sickdiesel]

and your running Mike L's spring with the shim also?

 

[marc75]

yes

Drain some fluid out.

 

[marc75]

ok when i check the level at 180* i look the lowest side of the gauge right ?? im level..... so i drain fluid out anyway ??

 

[Mike L.]

If you have a deep pan you can run the fluid below the bottom of the low hot mark. Set the level somewhere in the cold zone.

with my trans ive found its best to have a little less fluid than too much.

the white truck trans will cruise around 160-170 on the highway when it was 100-105* outside and hot lapping it will go to 190-200 and chill there. even on my back to back 10 sec passes.

Thank you very much for your help i ll try this right away

You will actually run faster times and cooler temps with a deep pan and lower fluid level.

Obviously this helps and is the thing to do, just a curious mind and wondering why. Normally more fluid helps keep a system cooler. Is the extra fluid causing extra pressure (pressure = heat), foaming (causing lack of lubrication or cavitation), or?

Just seems weird.

I just drain some out of mine and my temps have been a lot better doesn't heat up as quick.
