Drove today from Reno to Sacramento with a drop of 7,000'. In one 40 mile stretch, the drop was 5,000'. Of course, the engine stayed below 200, but the constant use of the Jake caused the transmission to stay above 240 degrees, peaking at 250. Cooled to below 200 as soon as I drove a few miles on level ground. I am assuming this is OK with synthetic oil in the trans.
