| Post subject: | Trans Temperature at 224 F |
Hi, After having posted that my gears were not shifting well when hot, I have checked the temp of my by passing cooler : 224 degree F. ... I have installed a by-pass cooler in order avoid replacing the costly stock one . This was done a few month ago: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62013 Any idea what it could be ? Clogged filter ? Need to install a Hayden fan clutch with a better fan ? Thanks ! |

Wen hot and the gears don't shift well the temp of the cooler is around 224 degree F. ... I installed a by-pass for my stock cooler since a few month already: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62013 Any idea what it could be ? Clogged filter ? Need to install a Hayden fan clutch with a better fan ? Thanks ! You can try what the dealer replaced on mine when my tranny was overheating, they replaced the transmission temperature sensor, located somewhere on the transmission, I don't know. According to the jeep mechanic, the engine light does not come on when the sensor malfunctions. They also replaced the cooler, hoses, and filters. |

also if you remember those pictures of the mud ?? make sure all of that got washed out of the fins in the radiator (without bending the fins) |

I will look for the part number of the temp sensor and order one, For the radiator clogged with mud, I don't think it is as I clean the front with pressured water, the trans cooler is really clean now. I am also wondering if the high temp might not damage the trans ? |
