How To Get An Accurate Reading On Tran Temp?

[JT25RB]

Hi everyone i have a automatic skyline R33 GTST S1 i have run a A T Cooler instead of running it thought my radiatar because it was easier to by a manual radiatar than auto radiatar and i also run a PWR Transmission cooler just to make sure i was wondering what line i could get accurate tranmission temp reading because i think i have it in the wrong line cause it is on reading 110 D F which is about 44 D C and i have a funny feeling i have got the sender after the coolers instead of before the coolers.

cheers joe

are you only running it through one oil cooler? how big is the oil cooler? running it through the radiator is recommended because it removes a lot more heat than wat a little external one does. as for the temp sensor why dont u mount it in the actual sump. then you'll know wat the actual temp is in the box

hey mate thanx for the reply it is running though both coolers and they are both 19 row coolers and i thought about putting it in the sump of the box but i was told the sump would worp with the heat because you would have to weld a nut in so the sender could screw in.Wouldn't it leak if you didn't weld it

just silvier solder it in with a oxy an the solder rod. if ur careful an do it properly it doesnt affect the sump at all. 19 row coolers should be ok but you'll still have to watch how hot you get it
