Is a Transmission Fluid Temperature of 60°C Normal?
1 Answers
A transmission fluid temperature of 60°C is not normal. The normal operating temperature range for automatic transmission fluid is between 80°C and 100°C. Excessively low fluid temperature may cause severe transmission wear. Below are solutions for abnormal fluid temperature: 1. Engine maintenance: Since high engine and coolant temperatures can affect transmission cooling, the engine should be inspected and repaired at an authorized service center. 2. Clean the radiator: Clogged radiator grilles may cause excessive transmission fluid temperature, so the radiator should be promptly inspected and cleaned. 3. Repair the valve body or replace the oil pump: Insufficient flow in the transmission cooling circuit can lead to abnormal fluid temperature, requiring inspection and repair of the valve body or replacement of the oil pump.
