Well... while getting the trans oil level right has drasticly slowed the rate at which it heats up, on a long stint it still get pretty hot....... Was at 219F by the time I got to Coombe Abbey....
However, while we were nosing around looking at the differences between Vicky's V6 and my Z28 wwe noticed something I was missing....
Enter one
'lower radiator air baffle' which ducts the stops the air that is deflected up by the air dam through the radiator and stops it going up and over it...
It seems that my cooling system is missing a vital part worth just $10, and that has cost me near on £1k when you tot up the radiator replacement and trans rebuild; both of which can be contributed to long term overheating....
The simplest things can cause so much hastle....
