Trans Fluid vs Heat

Here's a handy chart for towing or hot climates.

There's not a lot of truth to that chart. I live in a hot climate with stock cooling system and have 200k on my tranny. I would imagine the tranny temp would have to be close to the coolant temp since the tranny fluid is cooled by the radiator. I currently have no trans issues. pffft...100k...lol
