[VAC] Re: Sources for Trans Temp guages

[Dan Weeks <theprofileco@xxxxxxx>]

Several folks asked for my sources of trans temp guages. Here they are, for
what they are worth, gleaned from previous postings to this group:

The easiest way to add a temperature gauge to your transmission is to use
one of these kits: As a bonus you get a filter too. They are $80 from Summit
Racing Co, www.summitracing.com

B&M model #80212 gauge kit comes with an electric gauge, the housing, the
sender, the wire, and all the fittings necessary to hook it up. It cost me
about $45 at my local parts store.  There's no filter with this one. If you
don't add the external filter, a worth addition is a drain plug for the
transmission pan. That makes removing the transmission fluid a LOT easier.
You could put the gauge sending unit in the drain plug hole. You have to
remove the pan to adjust the bands periodically anyway, so I use the filter
inside the transmission. there never seems to be too much crud on the bottom
of the pan, or in the filter. The extra filter is a really good idea,
however.
