Title: Trans temp gauge
Post by: StingRay66 on May 23, 2012, 06:21:01 PM
Well I think it's time to start the sender for the trans temp gauge and I have a question ... which tube do I cut to put the T-block in?  The frt one that angles foreward or the one that bends toward the back and down before bending back to the front?

It depends - do you want the output temp or return temp from the cooler?  Mine is on the return line, matches the temp range on my gauge.  It's the line that enters just above the pan.  I installed it on the vertical part before the clip that holds the two lines together.

Thanks for the advice Paul I put on the return also after some thinking it seemed to make the most sense. I had the hard stuff done so it only took a little while to cut the tube and install the T-block.....and it works

Temp guage is a handy piece of kit to have, how long did it take to put in Russ?

Well I put the gauges and wire harness in a few months ago and it took about an hour and a half to put the sender in and  connect it to power yesterday so I guess somewhere between 3 hours and 3 months give or take a day or 2:)

Mine was about the same - most of an afternoon, give or take a beer or two.
