Transmission heat?

johnwiki · 07-20-2015, 04:40 PM

So I was under the car yesterday doing an oil change and heat wrapping whatever clutch line was visible (I've had problems, sore subject), and I couldn't help but notice that the transmission stayed hot. Even when my cats seemed to have cooled down a bit (fast intentions hi flow) the tranny still seemed to be just searing. Admittedly I don't know much about transmissions other than operation, but at this point I'm not sure if its just my paranoia.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't cooking my clutch.
