If you are running one,where did you install the sensor? I've read that you can tap the pan or install a "T" in the line to the cooler.
Just looking for advice.
Thanks.

Yes, I run one on MM. It is a Autometer mechanical unit that screws directly into the pan drain plug hole.
Autometer makes several adaptor fittings to accomodate the trans temp gauge probe.------------------

Right! To the drain plug,why didn't I think of that? I'll throw a couple of magnets in the pan rather than using the magnetic plug.
Thanks.

Some years back I had one ran to a Turbo 350 pan. I had to run my aftermarket pan over to the local machine shop to have the drain plug threads matched to the sending unit w/o destroying the drain plug receiver. Only cost $5. After it was installed the temp guage barely moved. I only had a 2400 stall and was running a tranny cooler as well as through the radiator.
