Gday guys.
I’m looking st fitting a tranny temp gauge. Is there a way of fitting one to the pan without welding? What is everyone doing. I also have a tranny cooler so can fit online with that but I’ve been searching online for hours and can’t find anything specific for the trimatic.

I'm not sure an in-line sensor would be the best thing, you would either be measuring the hotter oil coming straight out of the converter, or the cooler oil coming out of the cooler, probably more accurate to measure the temp of the fluid in the pan itself?

 

I'm sure you could get a weld-in bung for a couple of bucks, then just pull the pan off and take it to a local engineering mob to TIG the sucker in for you?

 

Just make sure to choose a location that doesn't foul the valve body!

I have seen dipstick sensors before !

cheap.

Oil cooler that i'll b running that has temp sender on the filter mount.pic

Inline trans temp sender unit works fine for me - installed in the rubber hose leaving the trans (before the trans cooler) - so i know it's the hottest reading.

Cheers mad torana. I bought one similar to your inline filter with sensor. So you recommend putting before the cooler? Do you happen to know which line is the in and which is out?
