6 speed temps

just changed my trans fluid to mobil 1 syn. atf. and installed my trans. gauge.
i am wondering what temps i should see, right now it'll get to about 100-120 and it takes it a while to get to those temps. is this normal?

Mine runs warmer than that. I see 180-190 at sustained (1/2 hour or so) 75+ MPH. I've seen as high as 235 towing up a long, long grade on I-80 between Sacramento and Reno.

Where's the sending unit mounted?

the longest trip so far is just to work a short 20 min. at that and speeds 60 and less.
i bought a drain plug that was tapped from the dieselsite and put it on the bottom of tranny.

You're probably right on with those temps then.
