I stand corrected on the temp... nice find dodgetrucker! I appreciate the info. I guess I was kinda right in the aspect of being worried about the clutches/shift bands/etc. Anywho, that does make ya cringe a tad!

 

im not to sure who wrote it, i just did a search for "atf operating temperature" and came up with that,

that im not to sure about, but on previous vehicals, if i got them past 260, i parked them as soon as i could untill i could do a fluid change, and in my expeirence, once the fluid has that burnt smell and discolored, you are on barrowed time, for me they have lasted a few more thousand miles, and some only made it 100 miles
