Key Tips:

- When reviewing recorded Transmission Fluid Temperature Data, pay attention to values. If they're outside a specific range or seem unusual, you might need extra troubleshooting and repairs.

- Ideally, transmission fluid should stay between 160°F to 200°F (71°C to 93°C). Going beyond this range could lead to problems like hardened seals, slipping plates, and burnt-out seals and clutches.

- These issues could eventually result in transmission failure, making it crucial to monitor the temperature closely.
