centralman Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi there, I have a 1987 Toyota Dolphin MH. I would like to know if anyone has installed a automatic transmission fluid temp probe into their AT pan. If so please describe it and give some details also pics help too. I am seriously thinking of installing one so I know my AT fluid is not overheating. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I installed my sender in the line that goes to the transmission cooler. That where the fluid is hottest. Others have dropped the pan and welded a bung low on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfstream Greg Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks for the link. May I ask if there is a good sensor (brand/model) to pick? Any particular gauge to match? the ones that JCWhitney stocks are the ones I have used. Cyberdine http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/textsearch_result.jcw?sku=transmission+temp&shopid=100001&_requestid=758586 I presently have the digital readout but I have yet to install it. In our sunrader I had an analog (needle and dial) and found that at the higher temps it was sorta a guessing game. And if your eyes are starting to have a hard time focusing on dash stuff the analog is hard to read. While on the subject of gauge placement here is a cool item for mounting those gauges. http://www.toyotamotorhomes.com/gauge_pillar.htm and where you can buy them http://www.truckpillars.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
