How can I warm up my transmission faster?
Revving the engine makes it spin faster and therefore heat up faster. Holding the car still while you rev in gear makes the engine spin more, but the transmission cannot spin more because you are holding the wheels still, so it puts pressure on the clutch and torque converter which have to absorb the energy.
What should your transmission temp be before you drive?
200 degrees
The ideal temperature for your transmission is 200 degrees. For every 20 degrees past 200, the lifespan of your transmission is reduced by a factor of 2. In other words, if you hit 220 degrees, you can expect to get about half the normal life out of your transmission.
When to warm up the transmission in a car?
There is a difference. In fact, your transmission in your vehicle does not circulate ATF through the transmission OR cooler or even the converter when in “P”. It goes in then directly out of the pump and dumps back into the pan. So in your case it would be beneficial for you to warm up your transmission when in “N”.
Why does my transmission heat up in hot weather?
Hot weather contributes to an overheating transmission by raising the resting fluid temperature, so it’s warmer than normal from the get-go. Combined with city driving, your transmission fluid is bound to heat up and wear out sooner, so it pays to check it frequently.
Why does my transmission not shift in the winter?
