That makes sense to me, I'll add that to my list. Thanks for the advise.

Let me know of any rally's relatively close by, I would definitely be interested in attending. Also, if anyone is interested in trading parts/services/help let me know; I have a full machine and fabrication shop in Portland with a 5 ton overhead crane. I love working on this stuff.

Sounds similar... so far in very heavy stop and go traffic (1.5 hrs straight one day) trans temp was 200, but thats the hottest its been on the road, typically it runs about 160 (even in fairly slow traffic). Then the first time off road...VERY slow driving, low range, and front diff locked...

"Converter Out Fluid, Maximum" @300F "Sump Fluid, Typical Continuous" @200F Which location does the A3 take the transmission temp from? I looked in the TM's with no luck. Thanks

Thanks, I'll post results after I complete the services and get the truck back out for another off-road run.

Also, after about 20 minutes of 40 mph driving (back home), the temp dropped right back down under 200??? I don't understand, but we'll see what happens after new fluid and filters. Thanks for all your suggestions, and the warm welcome. I've been looking around on here for a while, and this...

- 10,500 miles and 345 hours on the truck - I'm planning on changing the trans fluid and filters this week, even though the fluid looks fresh. - I'll try searching some more, but I haven't seen the same issue yet. I've seen some guys get blasted pretty good on here for posting a question...

I'm new here so hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. A few weeks ago I picked up a 1996 M35A3, and i've gone through all the fluids at this point. I've been driving it quite frequently (5 days a week and around 60 miles each time). The transmission temp has been running anywhere from...
