At one of the Dothan tech meetings someone mentioned which transmission line is the out to coolers, having cranal anal inversion I can't remember which is which. I'm asking because my temp sender is on the line farthest from the torque converter and at normal 75-80 degree air temp my trans runs about 170. The radiator cooler is completely out of the equation via the PO.

The one closest to the passenger side is the output of the converter and should run about the same as you speak. I find that mine runs 175 til I climb a long grade. My pan rarely registers at the minimum of 130 on the gauge. The outside is coming back into the transmission. I would think it might read about the same when not in a long grade but I may be wrong, since you have no external cooler.

I forgot to mention I do have an external cooler, a good size one right behind the grill.

I would think your incoming temp would be lower with an external cooler but I have not checked mine. Just torque converter and the pan is what I watch. I run mine through the alum radiator then series it with an external cooler. Took the external cooler off for a while and noticed the pan temps went up a good bit, and faster. So, I put it back on.
