The tranny is en-route or should be at TRE by now. However I would never know since TRE is impossible to get ahold of.

I called thirteen times yesterday.

hey boss.

I just got an idea, i'm probably gonna order me another temp gauge. I'm wondering what the thread pitch is on the bottom drain plug for the tranny. I'd be interested to see what kinda normal temps we get, before you endevour on the tranny cooler, ya know?

I already have a defi temp gauge, but i'd need another sender, and i might as well just get another one, as i'll probably get two more (replace the stock boost/oil/volt, with a panel with tranny and oil temp.)

I don't really wanna pull mine out and flush the fluid to check it though

Update:

Jon got the transmission apart. Broken 4th gear, lost about 4 teeth. Transmission overheated and made a black mess over everything. Photos coming he said.

So he believes heat is the cause and not the gear?

Combo. Heat because of the design and gear being small. He'll know more as he digs into it.
