I was just wondering how hot a transmission on a car or truck will get normally? What temps do most car and trucks transmission fluid see from everyday driving?
I was checking my 2003 Silverado and after a run on the highway for about 20 minutes. The fluid was hot but not as hot as the engine oil. Is the transmission fluid supposed to get hot enough to burn you to the touch like engine oil can? I was just wondering because I know you are supposed to check it when it is "hot" but how hot is hot enough?
Mine was low so I added a qt or so and it brought it up to a tad over the fill line on the dip stick but every time I check it it is eithor a hair low or high. How much over can the transmission be filled before it causes damage to it? Thank you for the help!
