A question for transmission experts.

On the TorqShift transmission, just how hot is too hot?
In other words, at what temp. should I pull over & let it cool down?

Thank you:

If you have a real temp. gauge and not the factory thing, I think the most you want to see for an extended period of time is 225-230.

My trans temp gauge never seems to move so I bought a Scanguage. Now I have digital trans temp, boost press and a couple of dozen other engine and milage parameters. They cost about $170 and plug into the OBDII port.

I do not know how hot is too hot.
