Keeping the Automatic Cool
It certainly is heating up outside, and under the hood.
During Winter, I sometimes set up a grille-block, but I'm hesitant this Summer. The transmission has a cooler line that runs into an isolated corner of the rad. Today, I ended up thinking about airflow over that section and the implications of blocked flow.
With the kickdown cable tightened to activate the TC asap, heat is a consideration.
Has anyone monitored tranny temps with grille blocks on automatics? Once I get a few hours in the garage, I'm thinking of replacing the fluid with Synthetic (if that helps). Should a transmission temp gauge be installed as well?
