Re: IML: trans temp sensor

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mikey.

You've confirmed my assumptions.  I looked around a little today and the 
only guage I could find that I could confirm was meant to be installed in 
the fluid line was at a well known tramsmission shop here in the city.  The 
price is $105.00!  I plan to go ahead with purchasing the guage as $105 is 
way cheaper than a new tranny.  The man at the transmission shop described 
in detail how the sender system is to be installed.  I told him that I want 
to be sure I have ALL the proper fittings etc that I'll need for my 727.  I 
trust he will meet that requirement.

Brad,

Ideally you would want the temp sensor in the line going TO the radiator
where the fluid is the hottest, but that would take a bit of plumbing as you
would need to fabricate some sort of T or what have you that is large enough
to accomodate the temp sensor fitting .

Most of the time they are installed in the pan, but one must make triple
sure of whats on the other side of the pan before you make the hole for it,
because of clearance.  The other wrinkle is that you would need the bung
fitting installed into the pan to thread the sensor into.

Check B&M,  or in even some of the aftermarket gauge makers and see if they
offer a kit for the install.
