What is the point of quoting a post over two weeks old just to feed the troll. He's been quiet and you want to bring him up anyway?

Well since the transmission is bolted to the engine and the engine coolant / thermostat temperature is 185-190 all the time after the first 10 minutes of driving, mine and yours is nearly always at about 190 degrees F.

So I find it hard to believe any degradation occurs at these "mild" temperatures.

240 is not mild for a transmission, it's overheating
