It depends on the driving conditions and cooling efficiency of the model in question. I have to block nearly all airflow over the radiator in Winter temps, or suffer transmission consequences (delayed shifts). IATs should be examined as well, but again, it varies by model.

One test should not preclude a decision -- if it is Scientifically valid to reproduce, it should be -- but unfortunately, the results apply to that specific model only.
