Transmission temp too high?..

Yes my transmission is still acting up. Same issues, after driving for a while, I will come to a stop, I step on the gas, car would not move, with higher rpms, it would jump and there is your TRANS FAIL SAFE..(Transmission is rebuilt twice, module replaced and still happening)

There is also that delay between P, R, N and D issue)

So, I do more research, and find out many people with these symptoms had valve body wiring harness issues. The temp sensor would not work properly and tranny would overheat and go crazy.

So, I decide to check the temperature in many different ways. After a half an hour warm up, the INPA soft shows gearbox temp as 100C. I read 180f from outside using my infrared thermometer (not sure how reliable). Also, my basic error reader reads Transmission fluid temp as 91F.

Now, thats confusing, I would think that 100C is too high and in that case the temp sensor is reporting wrong.

A recent visit to a transmission mech, and the guy there said my tranny fluid is burnt (changed only 2 months ago).

What do you guys think..

Ozzie..
