Well I got the autometer pyro and boost installed,now the trans temp guage!

I see the cooler line exiting the trans already has a 3/8 npt bung welded into it from the factory with a sending unit in it.My question is do I eliminate the factory sending unit and replace it with the autometer probe,or do I "T" off of the 3/8 npt bung and use both senders?thanx so much.

 

is this the bung you speak of? if so i was unable to turn mine anymore to swap sending units(the probe was too close to teh linkage right there, i didnt care to grab with plires and twist a trant line. so i installed my sending unit in a test port on the passenger side. it probably reads 10-15 degrees off but oh well. the 2 coolers i run keep things fine.

Hey way cool,A pic to go with my post,thanx jimmy

That is indeed the bung I speak of,I was wondering if I can just elliminate the electric sender there,and thread my new machanical autoguage unit in there,or if that will confuse the computer?thanx again

 

the sending unit that was ther eon mine is on the top part of that brass T. mine said VDO on it. if i were to remove it and put in the autometer one it would have been too tall and hit the linkage, thats why i didnt care to bend lines or cause a leak. so i chose to use the test port on the other side of the trany. but if you have room there i woul dput the sending unit in there. more accurate reading fro sure!

Did yours come with the brass "T" ? mine just has the bung on the line and the factory sender in it.

 

yes it did but its probably aftermarket since the sender says VDO on it. i would just go buy a T and set it up like mine looks. you can see the sender on top and the sensor out the back on mine! jiMMy
