My dodge journey 2013 has a temperature gauge for transmission that is 140 degrees if it's right in the middle of the gauge. For almost a whole time i've had it's always run at 140 or under. Recently, I noticed it running up to 170 degrees, which is about three quarters of the way up the the electronic temperature gauge. I am not short on fluid, and I believe it was topped off Just recently when I had an oil change. So unless i'm running bad fluid and I don't kown it I don't understand why it suddenly jumping up thirty degrees.

Acually i have a queation. My trans fluid temp has run under 150 degrees for a while. 140 is mid way on temp scale. Today i see it running at nearly 170 But the only info i can find says the temp runs 170 -225. 220 blowinv my engine. Why can i not find any real correct info and any idea why thw spike. The fluid is new.
