trans temp gauge

I have a 93 F150 and I want to put a trans temp gauge on it for pulling grain wagons and such. It has the e4od trans. I was looking for suggestions on a gauge and where to put the sensor for it.
And another question. For mirrors I have the non power mirrors on the A-frame type mount, is there an extension for a tow mirror?

the temp sending unit should go in the pan. when you buy a gauge the instructions will tell you exactly where to put it. LMC has extention towing mirrors the clip over these mirrors

I would put the senser in the output cooler line. Make sure it is in the fluid.
A Tee in the line normally works.
Too make it easy some aftermarket oil pans has a temp sensor boss machined in if you want it in the pan.

E4ODs have a pressure test port thats capped off on the drivers side of the transmission. Most transmission temperature gauge senders will probably have a sensor that can screw right into the test port - the one we installed did.

We compared the temperature the gauge reported to the one the internal sensor on the solenoid pack reported, and they were pretty much spot on.

It came with the gauge. It was "Glow-Shift" brand.
