Re: '50 Ultramatic Trans Cooler Lines

I've seen a few discussions about Ultramatics and cooling, are they susceptible to over-heating? I have the stock transmission in my 53 Cavalier, and as far as I know it's not running hot, but haven't really checked it either.

I'm guessing that when cruising down the highway the transmission would run similar temps to the engine if everything is working well and maybe run hotter when under higher loads, or if either the transmission or cooling system is in need of maintenance.
