Transmission temp too high?..

[diyanich]

Keep in mind that there's a thermostat for the transmission fluid.
It's located above the heat exchanged( 8 shaped black plastic with 3 hoses connected to it)
Normal temp is 82C mine is running hotter sometimes up to 106C
I get fault codes.
I already bought the thermostat as well as x-rings for heat exchanger(they are leaking once in a while) and now waiting for x-rings that go between thermostat and radiator,should be in next week.
If interested I can post the parts numbers.
I doubt that sensor is wrong,keep in mind that there's a ration for the spot: distance.... like 1 : 8,so you aren't measuring the actual spot if you are far from it

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..
