hi. do you know how to check transmission temperature? How do I know if it is overheating?

My Autel 802 will show transmission temperature.

I’ve only used this setting once to check it after servicing, the thing that surprised me was just how long it took to get up to 75° C ( I think that was what I was looking for) , I would presume the only way to get it to overheat would be to tow a really heavy trailer for too long.

With the Autel 802 (mine is the all systems version as versus the basic 4 component one) plugged in, start the engine and scroll through until you find the gearbox temp setting. Go for a drive, quite a long one, with the 802 connected and running until it reaches the right temp, 75° I think, then stop and check the levels on the dipstick.
