Where can a transmission temperature sensor be mounted on a 1999 manual powerstroke transmission? Does anyone know the part number for an applicable sensor that will work?

 

Are manual tranny's prone to overheating???

 

Paul, I don't believe they are prone to overheating, but I suppose anything is possible if the fluid is low or you are just beating on it.

Motard, when I first bought my truck and realized that the ZF6 did not have a temperature sensor I did some research on how to get one. Below is a link to a thread here on FTE that I found after my first search on Google.

Frankly, I decided it was not worth the effort and went with a boost gauge as my third gauge in the pillar pod. YMMV though, good luck and let us know what you decide.
