I went driving again today and the outside temp was
about 80 degrees. The trans temp sayed at 180 for
awhile and then slowly crept back up to just over 200.
I just put a transgo shift kit in and a deep sump pan.
I adjusted the TV cable also based on the FSM. I guess
I'll get a gauge and check the pressure just to
make sure it's OK. I though I would get the Check
Engine light for high pressure since I didn't solder
in the resistor with the trango. But it hasn't
appeared which has me a little worried.
A cooler will also be on the way!
