4.0/AX-15/4.88's/33's
With the above setup, at 65 MPH, my speedometer reads 90 MPH (even though the tach stops at 85 mph). At 75 MPH the needle points straight down.
With that said, my transmission is spinning like crazy at highway speeds and gets EXTREMELY hot. Hot to the point that the floorboards heat up enough to make my right leg feel like the hairs are being burnt off.
I have put stick-on dynamat style insulation under my carpet on the trans tunnel, and even on the underside of the trans tunnel between the transmission, and my entire center console still gets hot enough to put my iPhone into overheating mode when its resting by my e-brake.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what I can do to drop the temps in my transmission? Should I switch to a thicker gear oil? That's really all I can think of. Changing gears or increasing tire size is not an option.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
