Tranny temp gauge, pan or manifold?
I've done a bunch of searching and found some good info, ie the write up by Manymods https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/i...e-gauge-25927/
On the one hand a tranny temp gauge in the pan is representative of the hottest fluid, which is what I want, however the pan needs to be dropped and is time consuming and expensive to pay someone. On the otherhand a manifold in the "out" of tranny line, before it goes into the cooler, like this one http://www.autometer.com/cat_accesso...l.aspx?vid=165 However, the temp would be a bit lower in the "out" of tranny line than in the pan? How much do you think? 10, 20 F? Thanks Bill |
could always get two temp gauges and find out:hillbill: first you need to think about what you are saying here. To me it wouldmt make much sense that the fluid coming from the cooler would be hotter than what it was when it went into the cooler.:think:. The fluid comes from the tc which is basically when the fluid is at its hottest point. Then it goes to the cooler to be cooled hense the name the trans fluid cooler. From there it goes back to the trans. then repeat cycle. I believe the sensor montior the temp that comes from the tc. sensor is designed to go off at 302F. depending how good your fluid is in your trans that could definately kill your tranny. If you ever get it to that point you should be changing you fluid if your trans still works.

You can make a sender manifold very cheaply with parts from the hardware store: http://inlinethumb54.webshots.com/42...600x600Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb19.webshots.com/42...600x600Q85.jpg |

X2, splice into the cooler line (inlet to the cooler), no dropping the pan. no drilling the pan. What's in the pan should be some of the coolest ATF in the whole tranny. You can make a sender manifold very cheaply with parts from the hardware store:

So does the line from the cooler go directly to the pan, is that why it is the coolest ATF?
