Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have a turbo 700 behind my v6 and want to fit a temp gauge for the auto transmission.
Would like to know where people fit there temp sensor?
Read somewhere about fitting it in the pressure test port, swap the bung for the sender?

Any ideas.

Cheers
Matt

I fit the temp sender unit in the front of the pan, left of centre

T it inline before your auto tranmisson cooler. hoping you have one if you dont would def think about it if your going 2 tow or do any offroading mate.

Wanted to put it in the pan, but it's not due for an oil change.
Have an auto cooler, large external one.
Hey big lux do you have any pics of this set up?

Liked the idea of just srewing the sender in a hole already there

Thanks for the ideas.

yeah i was planning to put mine in the cooler line on a T piece...
but in the pan would improbably be more accurate

my auto guy said to put it in the return line from the cooler, it was something to do with the rear bearing..... thats for a C4 anyway

sorry i dont have any pics of this my auto shat itself so i went back to a manual for now. a little off track but if you wanto be in control ant have a bit more fun next time u change the oil think about a stage 2 shift kit from b&m way fun . but bak on track all i had was in the line going to the oil cooler a t peice that i got from my friend a pirtek it had a push on barb at each end to clamp the origanl hose on2 and a thread at the top wich matched up wit the one for the sender. way easy took about 10 mins all done.

What sort of temperature range are we talking about ?

Whats "normal" and "too hot" ?

I just got one, am yet to fit it though. Was $245 or something around there from memory. Comes with everything you need.

Says that 150c is the highest you want to go temp wise and if it gets that hot you should pull over and let the car cool down.

Thanks mate - and just as I created a separate post !

Good link. Like the idea of the sender at the hottest point.
Wasn't too sure of max auto trans temps, but you can usually buy a gauge to suit auto temps, oil temps etc.
