My reman transmission with less than 20k miles with an updated torque converter typically runs below 185 on warm days and 230 when going uphill on mountain pass at 45-55mph in tow mode. I have an external Derele transmission cooler.
Recently while towing in tow-mode on a very steep grade for 25 minutes at 15-40mph, the transmission temp on the dash got to 261. The car seemed to perform normally.
Was it unwise to take the transmission to this temperature and/or it is OK to do so occasionally?
