Temp gage
 

I have a Tranny temp. gage that is no longer connected to the tranny as the auto was replaced with a standard. So I now I have a non functioning gage. Here is my dilemma , what can I use the gage for now? Any suggestion on what I can connect it to and how? :) it is in a 3 gage cluster mounted in the old DVD slot under the radio.

You can install a temp sensor in the drain plug of:

• Engine oil
• Front diff oil
• Rear diff oil
• Manual transmission oil

Then get a four way selector switch and you have access to all your oil temperatures.

Or even drill and tap the thermostat cover and monitor radiator exit temp :eek:

I would actually be curious about the oil temp of the front diff.

Where would you attach the sensor? I like that idea. ;)

First remove , then drill and tap the drain plug.:)

Any lead on where to get the sensor?

It has to be compatible with your gauge - so try the manufacturer.

I drilled and tapped (1/8 NPT in my case) the plug myself, but you can buy these too. The NPT thread is conical so you need to pay attention.
