I was hoping you had located your sending unit after the cooler. Now this means I really do have higher temperatures right out of my TC than you do. I was beginning to think that my readings were normal for oil leaving the TC. I am hoping that switching to synthetic ATF will lower my readings a bit. I hope it does not indicate impending tranny trouble.

Tom, Synthetics can withstand higher temperatures before breaking down, but synthetics will not cause the temperature to drop. Try taking out the ATF thermostat. I think that will provide some information about what's happening.
