Help,<br>Which transmittion line is leaving the trans and which is the return from the trans oil cooler. I thought it would be better to have the sensor on the hot side but the directions said install sensor on return. I called and the factory said it was personal preference. Any ideas? Leaving on vacation on Monday hope to have this in before I go. Of course the fitting they gave with the kit is for a 3/8&quot; line and it looks to be a 1/2&quot; line. Hope I can find one.<br>Thanks for the Help

 

Hey awmasparky,<br>Here's a copy of an email I sent Chris (Papa Smurf). The Hot line that you want is the one that comes out of the tranny, crosses under the trans and goes to the Heat Exchanger which is mounted on the motor on the passenger side under the turbo.<br><br><br> <br><br> I mounted the TEE in the line that is closest to the firewall,,,, about 4 or 5&quot; before it connects to the heat exchanger. It makes the job easier if you take the line loose from the tranny and the heat exchanger (have something to plug the hole in the trans to keep fluid from leaking out). Then you can put it on the bench to cut the tubing and install the TEE. Cut the tubing so that it is the same length as it was before you installed the TEE and it will go right back in place.<br><br> Chris will also tell you that it's not that hard of a job and I have had no problems with mine at all. I like the being able to see the rapid temp changes with this setup. <br> Hope this helps.<br> Dennis<br>

 

Thanks Dennis,<br>I went ahead and jumped into it before I saw your response. But I did exactly what you did. It worked out fne except the kit I got did not have the correct T fitting(3/8&quot; instead of 1/2&quot so I had to make one up. I didn't get one of the connections sealed the first time so I had to take it out and try again. I think it is good to go now. It is nice to know it is where it should be. <br>Thanks, Mike<br><br>

 

Good deal Mike, ;D<br> Mine has been on for over 30K now and no problems. I really like to see how my tranny is working, especially when towing. I think having the temperature probe in this location gives you about the best and fastest readings on what's happening. ;D<br>
