Those digital guages on the instrument cluster are calibrated to the 2 extremes of the temp range so a normal person with no mechanical experience can look down and judge if the car is in good working order for example the coolant gauge hits the center at 174F and stays there all the way to...

So in another post why did you tell someone that if it’s in the middles the trans temp is at 206F why didn’t you just tell them that’s it’s unreliable and it could be part of a huge range what if that’s all they had to go off of and assumed it was at 206F when it was really at 135F

It depends, based on my experience Iv seen it hit the middles as low as 135F and stay there all the way up to 221F

Here are a few pics where the tow-haul mode is telling me the temp is in a “normal” range and the corresponding temp that isn’t 206F-215F, so either the sensors or lying or my car is magic

Nowhere does it say “make sure is at NORMAL OPERATING TEMP” those words aren’t in the service manual (atleast the one I’m using), it’s the upper end of the operating range, for example the coolant can swing from 174F-230F and maybe a little more that’s a temp difference of 56F, you’re telling...

I agree, the Platinum is no slouch either and it’s a little hard to tell under normal driving but it doesn’t keep up with the ST when it comes to the upper end of the power band but I bought it as a long distance cruiser and it’s amazing at that with way more power than it needs, I wish someone...

That’s what I was trying to explain, I’m an engineer and fix helicopters for the army and one of the main reason for component failure especially for plastics is heat cycling or heat soaking and I wanted a trans pan to get rid of the heat as fast as possible when I turn off the car instead of...

The 192F is the coolant, there is a 170F thermostat in the cooling system and I know it opens at 174F so the car is currently trying to cool itself the 166F is the trans temp it’s about 66F-68F outside based on the temp reading in the car and the weather app on my phone backs that up, pics were...

Mine isn’t the deep pan, it’s the regular one and maybe the platinum runs cooler than the ST but it’s what I’ve gotten

This is about the trans pan not the retardly overpriced gauge I bought so I can get rid of the NPT port and when I take my dash back apart I’ll post detailed pics of the potential fire hazard I created but it wasn’t worth it but it works

It’s a simple pigtail that comes in the box that you splice into the labeled wires and connect the gauge to instead on the OBD2 connector and the tutorial is on their website I broke 3 clips getting the dash off to do it I’m not doing that again for a simple pic if I do any other upgrades in the...

Maybe not in Arizona when it’s 110F outside after launching it a couple of time but in VA on a 50F day that’s the readings I got from 2 different sources, I’m not selling anything someone asked for information on something and what it’s like to own one of these and if they live in a climate like...

The P3 is hard wired in and the pan has a NPT port for a temp probe which I’ve removed since the P3 gauge gives about the same temp, also I have the Platinum the hardest I’ve ever pushed it was 6Krpm it mostly cruises on the highway at 2Krpm, the car shifts amazing sometimes it feels like a CVT...

Yes I know but if you took the coolant system and added another radiator that isn’t controlled by a thermostat that the coolant has to go back into the temp will continue to decrease because the car can’t close a thermostat to conserve heat, if you drive hard yes the trans fluid temp till...

I have a P3 gauge and an OBD2 reader running live data while I drive, my coolant thermostat opens above 174F while driving because it never drops below that but the lowest if seen my trans temp was 95F on 2F day in VA (granted I only drove for about 30 min) and these are the readings I’ve been...

That’s the the thing about a finned metal trans pan that’s cooled by airflow the fluid must go back into it even if the thermostat is closed it’s basically flowing back into a chilled bowl, doesn’t matter if the thermostat is opened or closed the fluid must flow back into the pan which is being...

The thermostat is for the heat exchanger that is “cooled” by the coolant, the pan is the sump where the fluid is held (besides the TQ converter) it only work with airflow over the fins so if you aren’t moving the fluid will continue to heat up, plastic is an insulator so if you drive till the...

I installed a PPE trans pan about a year ago and it keeps the fluid temp around 165F-185F, with stop and go traffic it climbs to about 210F on a hot day but cruising on the highway at 60mph will bring it back down to 180ish, the only down side is during winter it takes forever to heat up, one...
