UPDATE: (At 29k kms, -5k later since flush) tranny temps are still dropping. By the time the engine/coolant temps get to their operating temps, 89-91c, the tranny is normally reading 67c. It takes a lot longer now to reach full operating temps which are about 5c lower than the engine and I’ve even not seen it get there driving from Calgary to Banff and back.UPDATE day 2.
I noticed another decrease in transmission temperature today. This is telling me the flush and change in oil was a good thing.
The 1st photo attached is of temps as I got home from work YESTERDAY.
The 2nd photo is when I got home from work, TODAY.
I’m not saying the transmission will never get up to temps closer to the engine/ coolant temps but so far it hasn’t when it should have.
Whatever jerkiness I’ve felt in the shifting is gone and smooth. 1.- like first engaged in the morning driving out of the garage and I’ve felt the truck quiver and jerk a bit as it’s rolling out in drive to the alley and 2.- manually shifting down, the RPM’s shoot up then the gear engages and jerks the truck, it felt notchy in all the down shifting. It’s all smooth now. It’s a different feel.
