trans Temp sensor location???
The question is -- where to put trans temp gauge sensor??? I put one in the drain plug today by drilling and tapping it-- kinda made sense to me, but I still question if this the right place. The line going to cooler would certainly give you readings of the "hottest" fluid; the return line would give you the "coolest". Of course this would work ok if the cooler is not plugged. Any input on this would be appreciated. keivn

usually people install them in a filter kit that has a boss drilled and tapped already. In the pan you are getting a reading of the cooled fluid after it returns from the cooler. best bet is to measure it on the way out to get a high temp reading

i moved it!!
Thanks for the input-was not really happy with it in the pan -- seemed slow and damped. I moved it to the trans out /cooler input line. I had read somewhere, maybe here, about putting it on the line instead of in the line. I cleaned off a small area of the steel line and attached the sensor with a clamp, then wrapped with duct tape. It works great!!!! Reads about 145 when the torque converter locks and seems to react with no lag. No fuss, no mess. Also flushed the cooler and now runs bout 180-190 at all speeds. Goes up a little in town when torque converter is working unlocked. I flushed the cooler with some fantastic stuff called Kooler Klean. Comes in pressurized can, just hook up and flush backwards thru cooler--amazing stuff. My fluid is clean and bright red, but the crap that came out of cooler with flush was incredible.

Do a search for transmission filter and you should find the links to the information on the PermaCool filters. If you need more info, let me know.
