Robert:  Many years ago, when I thought that a slow-to-engage OD might be 
caused by thinning oil due to high temperatures, I installed a temperature 
sensor in the drain plug hole on my tranny.  As I recall, the trany 
temperature maintained a steady 190 degrees F.  The sender and gauge are 
still installed but I haven't payed any attention lately.  The next time I 
have the Healey out (next Tuesday), I will check.  If it is different, I 
will re-post.
