Thank you , thank you. I will just do the trip with changing fluid and filter and hopefully get a trans temp gauge installed in pan before i go for kicks. Fluid is still nice red but I just got the car in Sept. and should change anyway.

I'll watch the temp gauge and maybe in summer put in cooler. I'm still confused about where to mount it when i get one. In front of fan i dont know if it would fit. The hood grille would hit it i would think. Why not between the Main engine cooling fan and radiator? Is the air too hot there by the time it passes throug AC condensor and Radiator?

Hopefully someone can post a pic of an install. That would be nice.

cheers
