Default 4L80 Trans temp

Hey I just did a 4L80 swap and I was wondering of those that have done the swap what is the trans temp getting to?

Do you have a trans temp that tells you? I am running the trans cooler that is about the size of my intercooler for my radix and i have the upgraded sized intercooler, plus i have an electric fan that is attached to it to cool the cooler off. But the temp is still getting to about 210 around town when im goin from red light to red light.

210 seems prety hot. i have the b&m cooler too, it isn't all that big. my temps are around 160-180 most of the time, i dont think they have ever been over 200deg since i put the cooler on there.

I was thinkin that was too hot, but it stays in that range when i am on the highway. I dunno if all the humidity and hott air down here in dallas matters or not?

You checked the Fluid levels on it ?
Might wanna get a deep tranny pan for it
Is it a built trans ?
I'm having issues with mine still .the convertor never wants to lock and unlock consistently in 3rd or 4th ??
