C6 TEMPERATURE SENDING UNIT
First: Is there port on C6's where you can install a temp. sending unit? Or do people just use a " T " junction between the tranny and cooler?
Second: which coolant line is the line from the tranny to the cooler?

Why not a T port on the line coming out of the tranny to the cooler? The fluid is hottest coming out of the tranny The reading is only measuring the temp. of the fluid at that point. Why would it be useless?

Because your tee will not have the sender in the flow of fluid, if you do get it in the flow of fluid you will restrict flow to the cooler. Reading trans temp out doesn't mean much, you want to monitor the entire trans from the fluid sump.

There is a port on the side of the trans. Use that to install the sender. This reading will be much more accurate than a reading in the pan. The pan is the coolest part of the transmission. You don't want to use that reading. The test port will show a better average transmission temperature.
