sure.
the engine can run hot and that heat goes to he transmission, from metal path (bellhousing) and the rad A/T cooler, heats the transmission up to what ever
the engine thermostat is doing (180f, 190,192,195F whatever the last person bought and installed)
what is engine temps at stated tranny temp>?
180f is stock.sized.
the transmission can add to that value. if loaded with 1000lbs extra load, and flogging it up a hill , (not with locked up TCC,it will make heat , inside)
over filled the transmission will whip the ATF , up, and is never good.
your transmission was even used on Mazda mini vans. so is a pretty strong box.
i think the tranny temps are max 270f. beyond that is breaks down (Dexron VI spec)
the transmission clutch that slip makes heat, and then the more load you have the more slip you get, up hills. slip = heat.
This is why they have 8 and 9 speed transmissions now, to end (vastly reduce) that slip and (less heat , nets more mpg) (ever drive a 2 speed FORD, you'd know how bad this is, ouch)
and in any A/T box where the TC slips?, that makes,heat. lots of heat and the fluid expands, and if overfilled . it will leak as it expands.
if you run the engine at 180f.
and it holds there.?
and you're not slipping the heck out of the box. (clutch)?
the trans will be a tad less than 180f. via the hot water heated ATF fluid. it has no other choice, it's heated to that. temp (close) (Not in Alaska, or the like)
so most trans run about 200 -225 max, loaded. (or add an external cooler)
The TCM is tuned to shift a hot transmission. (on new cars, they measure this temp directly and shift it by the temperature factors and speed and engine measured loads)
and all this depends on ambient temp, as in Alaska? , it will be slow to warm up. but not in Keywest.
