Where is the best place to mount the sending unit for the trans temp gauge?

Actually, here is his exact quote:

You want to put it on the out line of the tranny. This will give you dynamic and an accurate information on how your tranny is working and if you are doing harm to the tranny and the fluid. If you put it in the pan and your tranny is cooking the fluid but you have a really nice cooling setup, the pan sender will see a useless low luke warm temperature that will lull you into a false since of you not having to rebuild it soon after as it blindly self-destructs inches from your stupid self :smile:
A pan sender basically tells you if your cooling system is working up to par, but if you put a good cooler in and a deep pan, that should do it. If not, you trans is creating way too much heat which you would of already identified before you just caramelized and carbonized your clutch and varnished all your valves with burnt ATF.

Hope that helps,

Brian

Thanks guys
I'm not actually too worried about my trans temps, cause I already have the deep pan and two coolers. I just got a trans temp gauge in a package deal from Todd Anderson so I figured what the hell, might as well use it.

Now if I can just figure out how to keep from breaking outputshafts and busting cases, It'll be all good. :wink:

I have Summit's remote tranny filter on my truck (this is the same one that Brian H. will tell you to buy) http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=4479 Even though it doesn't say so in their description, it is drilled and tapped for a 1/8" sending unit. You can see the plug that is included in the pic of the kit if you don't have a sender. However, the close proximity to where the hose barbs attach might make for some tight installs-my sender has about 1/16" of an inch clearance. I have a deeper TCI pan and B&M cooler now, I just need to get a 9/11 TC and overhaul my tranny and give it a good work out :razz:. HTH
