Hi Harvey,
I have a pressure guage in the line between the atf cooler and the out flow of the tranny. My pressure runs 25psi to 75 psi, never less than 25psi. My fluid is near new clean, I also have a temp guage and try my best to keep the temp down, not easy to do tn the desert in the summer, 115 degrees avg july & august.
