Anybody know what desired operating temperature is for a 904 mopar trans? Yesterday I was in stop and go city traffic coming down plymouth road and noticed it started creeping up a little north of 200 degrees. Coming down telegraph, it cooled down to 180. When I shut it down in the garage, it was down to about 160. There is a dinky little trans cooler. Engine was running about 180-190 degrees.

you get wipers working, back in that time period they were usually vacumn operated.

I do not know specifically. The 904 behind the slant 6 in my Duster is cooled by the radiator. Figure the coolant temp is in the 180*+ neighborhood, the trans temp would have to be some north of that (200+ at least) to make running it through the cooler worthwhile. That's as far as my logic takes me.

Thats about the range my 4l60e in my pickup operated. 200 wouldnt concern me 250 is a problem.

Hey Larry, I haven't messed with the wipers yet. I was more concerned with finishing up the interior. Rain X got me through one rain storm that I was caught in, but regardless, the weatherstrip is gone. To be honest, I haven't even researched the wipers!
