Default Heat soak,

I was looking at my remote transmission filter and i was wondering, should i be worried about heat soak from the headers into it? It allways seems warmer then the piping, but it assumed that was beacause of the thinner metal on the filter housing.

i see you live in NH? i wouldnt worry about it unless your on some really warm summer days... heat kills a tranny.. but not letting it get warm enough is almost as bad.. do you have an aftermarket/aux tranny cooler as well? or is still the lower radiatior section?

You're belt coudl do that anyway.

As for the cooler, right now the in rad one is disconnected due to the incompetance of AAMCO, But i do have the AUX cooler. I'm planning on getting a temp sensor soon.
