Where to get Tranny/Water Temp

[kc0stp]

Wheres a good place to install a temp gauge for the tranny (E40D) and coolant?

 

[DragRag]

On the tube leading to the trans cooler for trans temp. On the cooling system where the gauge sending unit is on the engine if you don't mind a non working dash gauge.

To check the trans actual running temp you would have to weld on a bung close to the top of the pan. Normally a probe is installed in the pressure check port just ahead of the shift shaft drivers side, 3/8" NPT plug there. To install a probe in the cooler lines require a tee being installed in the forward line, that checks the temp from the TC which will be a lot higher than pan temp. The engine temp probe can be installed on drivers side rear of head, there is a 1/2" NPT plug there.

The pyro will fit just right in the test port on the side of the transmission.

Yup, put the coolant sender in either head I prefer the rear passenger's side. Removing the square head pipe plug is the hardest part of the project.
