Trans temp is important.
There are two ways people monitor the temp.
The one that makes sense to me is to monitor the temp of the fluid that
will enter the system, as that is considered to be important.
The other to monitor the temp of fluid leaving the trans.
This is rather a good indicator of load that is put into the trans and how
hard the convertor is working.
Hot fluid is cooled at the radiator and brought back into the pan.
Also what is important is to change the fluid frequently, as the
additives in the fluid gets exhausted from heat and when one changes the
fluid, your lucky to change about 1/3 of the total.
This topic of where to measure the temp can be very controversial.
