There's a big mountain you gotta go over and after staying in the 160 range the whole trip it climbed up and I was just thankful to see the top. I even dropped it to 3rd for the hill so it wouldn't hunt through the gears. It wasn't like I was driving like a mad man either.
You know, you're the first one I've "read" that has their sender in the pan...did you get a fitting with the sender that you just welded in? I'm almost ready to buy a new pan so I can experiment with adding fins to it for more cooling (okay, so maybe they won't do a thing due to the lack of airflow...) and I might as well do the sender mod at the same time. I was going to just add the sender to the PermaCool filter housing, but I'm thinking our temp concern should really be at the trans itself.

p.s. do you have the URL for the Subaru High Mileage Club?
