Thanks to all for the advise, especially the link from @Plasnart. Reading all that I would say I'm in the good range. My gauges only start at 60 and go up to 150 so around town I really don't get a gearbox temp reading at all. Differences in motors with the water temp I think @threedogs. Water temp is usually about 89 ish on mine. I considered yesterday too good a chance to miss testing so the readings I quoted were on the freeway at 100kph, towing a trailer and 42deg outside temp, aircon going flat out. I think I am happy with the results given the conditions. I am going to set my temp alarm for the gearbox at about 110/115 deg. EGT alarm is set at 500deg, water alarm set for 95deg and boost set at 20psi. I will probably reset the boost alarm down to a bit over 15 psi.
@jff45 auto temp lights tend to come on just after the damage is done in my opinion, same as oil pressure lights and water temp gauges. BTY, when my redarc water gauge goes from 85 to 91, the OEM gauge doesn't move. I don't want to know the temp just after it's too late so thats why I have installed these redarcs.
Wrong thread I know, but thanks for the response and all the best for christmas and new year. Nothing I can say that is helpful TD, but you have my wishes that it all works out mate.
