Re: Retarder 101 Reply #76 – September 01, 2012, 10:32:38 am High automatic transmission temperatures will shorten the life of the fluid, seals and transmission. Here is a quote from a transmission site; "The effect is also cumulative. Short term exposure to high heat levels (or even prolonged exposure to moderate heat) can break down the oil to the point where even very short episodes of overheating will lead to failure."And the site: Transmission temperature/failure chart.Pierce Quote Selected
