I just wanted to make sure and ask experts on here lol I’m going to ls fest west in April and I’m driving from Los Angeles to Vegas don’t wanna stay stranded or stay on neutral lol

80-100c is fine for the tranny ( 176f to 212f ) i think they have a warning around the 120c 248f and reduce power to help cool them down, ideal is if u can keep it within the 176-212f range

If you have an automatic, make sure it has been professionally flushed if it has some miles on it.

Well it sounds like everything should move and flow properly with a couple of clean flushes under your belt, not having years of gunk build-up causing operational issues and overheating. It's amazing all the internals of a automatic compared to a manual. Flow is important to both types. But I feel cleaner fluid is even more critical with automatics, not just a pull plugs/drain/fill process. Really gotta flush it out clean!

I'm running RP Synchromax with good results. I live in the Pacific North West, so weather is never a factor keeping temps down as compared to some other places, plus I have a modified external oil cooler. My fluid is usually 100*F-115*F if I'm driving hard.
