Tranny Temp

I just got my gauges in, I havent gone driving yet but im wondering what should my tranny temp gauge read? I let it idle for about 5-10 minutes and it was barely above 100, I'm trying to figure out if something isnt working or it just isnt hot yet. Thanks!

SpankDog ,
I just installed my gages a couple of weeks ago and my trans runs around 150 degrees. I'm not sure what normal or hot is but that's as hot as mine has gotten......JR

Yeah, that is how mine is also... takes a long time to warm up, which is good. It normally runs around 150-180deg.

Mine goes down to about 130 on the highway (converter lockup lowers temps) and goes up to 150 in city driving, up to about 165 during the day, I drive mostly at night.
