I have a scangauge II that gives me readings on the general goings on of my motor. My question is the other day I was driving and noticed the temp got up to 210 to 213 then dropped down really fast to the 190's I figured it was normal but then checked and the thermostat shout be 195*. The water pump is new but I have never changed the theromstat. Does anyone think this temp is a problem? Is it normal for that kind of fluctuation? At what temp will the tranny get damaged? My coolant is full and is nice and green. Thanks in advance for any info.
