Trans Temp Guage Install?
I've looked high and low for info on installing a trans temp guage. I am changing my trans fluid next weekend (swapping to synthetic) but I also plan installing a trans temp guage soon hopefully.
How do you install the temp sensor? Is there a plug on the tranny or do you drill a hole in the pan?
Don't want to waste brand new oil if I have to drop the pan again.
Any help?

There is bung allreay to go it is on thedrivers side infront of the fill plug, it is about 1/4" in size you will need a diferent prob thantheone that come with your gauge that is shorter. so it will not get broken off inside. iwill try to get th epart # foryou J

wycowoy is right on the money. this is one of the easiest things you'll do. on the drivers side about 1/2 an inch above the edge of the pan there is a bolt i dont remember what size this bolt is but you'll find it easy its about in the center of your tranny. I used an autometer ultralite trans temp gauge and the sending unit fit perfectly. you loss less than a teaspoon of fluid when you do this. Good luck

I thought combining a programmer and a shift enhancer would increase the line pressure to scary levels. With all the plans swimming around in my head about what I want to do to this truck, a trans swap isn't on the agenda
Anyone got some good info on this?

Ask around, but I think that they will work togther well I thnink many folkl are running asoannaxand tuner. but I know what you mean about not wanting to rebuind a trany.. when mine goes though I'mputting in a manual. I've had it with autos they just suck for towing. and the only other opt would be a BTS trany for 3 grand. good luck J

Does anyone have part#'s handy for the Sonnax valve andTricumulator springs. I'll have to hunt around for a shop that carries Sonnax bits and most likely have to buy everything individually. I would buy from one of the supporters of this site, but having stuff sent across the border sucks. I hate waiting a couple weeks for crap to clear customs then getting boned on duties/taxes.
