- The sender will be included with the gauge.
- I have a similar setup on my car. It works pretty well, but it still gets hotter than I would like in the summer, and the ATF is too cool in the winter.
-My suggestion is to install an ATF cooler with an electric fan into the left-front wheel well. Get the thermostat and wire the fan to kick-in based on the thermostat. Some people have done this with good results.
- I think that series or parallel will give similar results. Some people feel that parallel is better because there will be a smaller pressure rise across the ATF cooling loop. If you have an early model car ('92-'93), it would probably be best to stop using the radiatior cooler. These coolers have a tendency to clog.
- If you use the cooler you listed above, the ideal location for most effective cooling is in front of the a/c condenser.
