I bet my temps will match those posted once I remove the TBV.

Here's a picture of my shifter. Please note distinct lack of dial and clear presence of stick and knob. Not pictured....knob taking picture :)

I know this is an old thread but it has come back around & I just wanted to say that is just a BAD A$$ shifter!

Today it was 80 with 90+% humidity and on the highway for 20 mins this was my trans temp. Completely unloaded, just me in the truck. 65RFE, Redline C+, and MH trans pan. This is the coolest running transmission I've had in a vehicle.

Yeah it's about 2 quarts over the stock pan. I'm sure that helps with temps...

Thanks for the answer. Waiting for them to come out with a pan for the 8 speed. Doesn't look likely though.

There are a couple of aluminum pans for the ZF 8 speed. The problem with the 8 speed is the thermal management system keeps the trans temps at around 190* at all times. Unless that can be bypassed, no matter what you do it will always hover around 190...

IMHO, extra capacity should keep the better for a longer period.

Well these temps are not normal but the results of pulling about 7,000 lbs of trailer and Tractor up a 3-6% grade for about 20 miles on a 45 mile total trip , had about 10 miles of flat land driving prior to hitting the uphill climbs .... BRUTAL switchbacks ! Near stop & go the turns are so tight .

Once on top of the mountain xsmn temp quickly cooled to about 150 and engine oil down to 210.

I have the Mag-Hyteck RFE45 pan on my 6 speed RFE65 xsmn with 3.55 Differentials . Running Redline C+ ATF+4 fluid .
This is the first time I've seen this fluid above 150° , and the first time I've seen my engine oil over 220°

It hit a 100 degrees here in Jersey yesterday, so I am a bit envious of that 73 degrees you are showing. Do you think a higher temp would have raised your displayed temps ? Good numbers btw.

I had the transmission flushed and filter replaced at 65k. Could tell a big difference in the way it shifts. I am at 69k now and this is after a 45 min drive back from work @ 88F.

That 73° was a bit skewed as it was morning and I was at about 5,000 feet above sea level [emoji1303]
In Jersey your probably less than 200' ASL [emoji6]

And I do think my #s would've been a little higher but not much because the #s jumped up pretty quickly about 1/2 way up the mountain then they just kinda stabilized for the rest of the climb .

I was getting concerned when the temps went up so quickly , but the beginning of the trip was very very steep grades with really tight turns ( near stopped at times ) so slow going and very little airflow for the oil cooler .
