paul mac Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I would go for sump for most accurate reading of tranny oil temp. Interested in pic though i'll sought it tommorow in the day light, i put it on the feed (not the return) to the cooler so it is at most 2ft from the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 pic of tee for temp sender, it is just a 1/2" black iron tee with 1/2" BSP to 12mm hose tails cost about £1, i chose to use a relativly large size so as not to impede flow and was carefull to check where the sender ended up inside the tee with a bit of filing of the 1/2" BSP to 1/8" fitting to get it spot on, second pic is the gauge i used these are the cheap single wire senders not thermocouples so i ran it through a 2 pole switch (not possible with thermocouples) with the engine sump oil temp as i've run out of places for gauges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
