Thread: TH 200 4R operating temps

Tweet

Just put a new rebuilt Bowties 200 4R in my Rod and added a temp/pressure guage because I live in Az (as in way hot).
Anyone know What would be the normal operating temp taken in the sump? I'm getting 165-170 degrees and one guy is telling me that's on the hot side and another says it's on the great low side...btw, that's on a tranny with about 40 miles on it and working it hard purposely.
The pressure numbers are right on and the shifts just right.

Don't know for certain on a 200R4, but on TH350 and TH400, 175-225 F. is ideal.

Yeah, what I was thinking but the Bowties site shows a 'desired' 150-160 pan temp...that seems low to me but they are the guys paying for warranty work and it might be an ideal as in no one really gets that temp.
Everything else I read says what you quote as good numbers.
I'm in Wickenburg btw, is that what you get in the summer for temp op numbers?
Thanks for the response.
My car is the xlt27 pics in the new Rod build thread.
