Trans temp too hot?

Up to 220 to 240 is not the end of the world, just plan to change the atf at half the interval. The atf's are really good now and 200 is normal if it's working.
Maybe it's just for piece of mind, but I like to occasionally pull the dipstick & have a look at the color of the trans fluid (bright red = good & brownish = bad) or smell it to see if it smells burnt.... Call me old school!

Oh ya, we don't have dipsticks on the twins.... IMO GM could use a few less "dipsticks" in decision making positions! :rofl
