| Tranny Temp. Gauge Hook-up |

 |
If you are thinking about hooking up a Transmission Temperature Gauge to your car you are probably wondering how and where do I hoop up the sensor. Well, there are 2 different ways of doing this:
Most AutoGauge gauges include fittings to either be installed into the pan direct, or to use a temp manifold (like a "T" fitting) that would install into the cooler lines that run to the radiator, this is better than the sump since it is the hottest fluid in the trans. And since fluid life is cut in half for every 25 degrees increase in temp about about 170, it's best to know the hottest fluid.
This aluminum block is sold separate from the gauge, and is designed to work with either 3/8" OD lines(PN 2286) or 5/16"OD lines(PN 2287).
The aluminum block has a pipe thread (that's what NPT is) on each end. Into that pipe thread goes a pipe to tube fitting, that's what's in the picture. Then you attach the cooler line to the compression fitting. The sender then threads into the top of the block.
You have 5/16" cooler lines, so you'd need the 5/16" kit.
Otherwise, you will need to drop the pan, drill and weld a bung into it for the sender to thread into.
