Robert: Many years ago, when I thought that a slow-to-engage OD might be
caused by thinning oil due to high temperatures, I installed a temperature
sensor in the drain plug hole on my tranny. As I recall, the trany
temperature maintained a steady 190 degrees F. The sender and gauge are
still installed but I haven't payed any attention lately. The next time I
have the Healey out (next Tuesday), I will check. If it is different, I
will re-post.
