They lied, it will burn up your ATF real fast at 250F , also prolonged 250F periods will will harden your seals and varnish will form. Short periods of high heat aren't as bad, but they can break down the ATF very fast.
If the ATf looks and smells okay, then you are likely okay, but 250F tranny temp is too hot. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>He said it looked ok. I saw him check the coolant reservoir and smell in there.
As far as high temp goes, I'm sure it's been at least above 210ish and below 250. I can't remember seeing it above 250. (might have once knowing me.)
Edit: I have never had an overtemp light.
They said they couldn't see any evidence that it had leaked out anywhere. And I've never seen any on the ground, but that's not something I look for everytime I stop for gas on a long trip. I will now.
They checked the t-case and changed the oil while I was there. He didn't say that any leaked out. That's why they want me to drive it. They'll check it after the trip, which is about 2500 miles for me.
