Lonewolf Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hallo, I drive my Cutlass Supreme 3.1 very often on German Autobahn. What do you think about the Speed I can get in the long run ?? I would like to drive about 95mls/hr with Cruise Contol. What's about the Transmission, is it overheating ? And the Engine ?? What for Speed did you get on the long run ??? I hope anybody can help a lone German Cutlass Driver Greets Ralf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoomFan Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 You have the 4t60-E. I think you'd be okay for a little while. Don't go 95 for like hours on end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I personally wouldn't go over 140-150km/h...keep the revs under 3000rpm too imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 You need an LQ1 for the Autobahn. Awesome to see a Cutlass there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe put an aftermarkey tranny cooler in by the radiator and that should help a lot with transmisison cooling. Though, I'm not sure it would get hot enough to need one - though a cooler would probably prolong the life of the transmission at least a bit.

19Cutlass94 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 fuck it let it all hang out! a new tranny is only like $2,000 and a jy one is only like $300! But most importantly, dont drive faster than what your tires are rated for!!! But isnt there a cutout on the top speed though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 nice. should run fine at 95 for a while. just make sure your cooling system is up to par and add some redline water wetter or royal purple purple ice. maybe put a 180-stat in, but might not help unless you would actually program the computer to turn on the fans at a lower temp than stock. i would put a trans cooler in there, too, as well as a temp gauge. tranny might be cheap, but finding one there might be a little difficult.

Andrew Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 dang, at that speed your fuel mileage will suffer!! but i would want to go fast there too. 95mph with cruise engaged, yeehaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure whether the fans kick in @ 95mph a few degree lower probably has little effect on cooling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 yeah, probably, but at 180 might help. i really dont know how well air flows through there at 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 It probably doesn't hurt to have them running I know what you are saying. I guess with an aftermarket tranny cooler the fans running might help get air floing through that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in Germany, I would imagine a junkyard tranny would be much harder to find. I think it is very hard to find a tranny at a German junkyard.... Thank's for the help, I will look for a trannycooler and then I go to hunt all the BMW and Mercedes on the Autobahn...
