I've noticed that my transmission temperature runs quite a bit higher (25 degrees) in 5th gear than it does in 4th gear (for the same driving conditions).
Any suggestions as to why this may be?
I'm wondering if the clutch pack for 5th gear is worn and slipping under load generating additional heat. The 4th gear clutch pack does not, so it runs cooler? I'm trying to figure out if the tranny needs some work.
