My VR was always hitting 3/4 when stopped. After having the car about 8 months the radiator cacked itself. When I got it back the temp guage was worse, took it back tot he mechanic who decided to be lazy and not replace the thermostat and that too had died. New thermostat and radiator and now the car sits at 1/4 or goes to half when stuck in a drive through or at lights and the fan kicks in. I havent seen it hit 3/4 since.

Ok there are many veriables with the heat issues such as the auto commodores run hotter
because not only are they cooling the motor but they also cool the trany through the same radiator. the 81c thermostat is a good concept except on rather hot days they have been known to cause the car to heat up more due to the fact the thermostat doesnt cool enough to shut which means the water never gets a chance to stop flow and cool in the radiator. things you can do to cool your car are run a seperate trany cooler taking addition heat from the radiator and also putting a engine oil cooler in. i run a 5 speed v6 with custom gearbox oil cooler and a engine oil cooler the car used to sit just over 1/4 and ever since the change sits just the first bar over cold and just over 1/4 in traffic.
