Well thats odd. I've just been using the digital gauge, but it makes the midpoint after driving about 60mph for 10 minutes. Now, at 25 degrees, it's def longer. Sport Mode definitely behaves better when it's warmed up.
This was after 20 min of normal driving omw home from work today.

I wasn't sure the preferred temp. I feel like the cooling is so good, its too good. Mustang 10R80 took FOREVER.

That's still pretty low considering the operational temp on these transmissions is above 200F.
Operating temp is 171 to like 201* so this isn't THAT low but its still below the threshold for "ideally" getting on it. You can still do runs at like 160* but according to Adam there are tuning parameters that will stop you from getting the best performance when it's not in the sweet spot.

So I am guessing the digital gauge just has one spot for the "range". After 10 miles this morning, 39 degrees, about 60mph steady, the digital gauge was middle of the M on the transmission, where it never exceeds. So maybe it hits there around 170, and just stays there until the transmission starts going into the higher ranges, where it should not be.

Based on what I have seen it gets to the middle more like 130 -150* on that towing gauge. I will test it omw home today and give you a better number
