iv seen pictures iv seen it in front of me but have no idea where to find one...

You can unscrew the plug in the pressure port on the neutral safety side of the trans, replace the plug with a 1/4 temp sensor.

Well i cannot find a sensor! is there anyone that can help me with this?

Glowshift sells the sending unit and the gauge. I was running one in my 4L60E until a couple weeks ago when I traded it to someone as part of my T56 swap. I would suggest putting it in the pan as well rather than the test port.

Auto Meter 3357...

Comes with multiple sending unit adapters.

Its a fluid pressure port and is a better blace than the pan because you dont need to drill. I check out what you guys listeed thanks!

Just know it reads 10-20 degree diffrence if it was in the middle of the pan vs the pressure port

10-20 lower, right?

The pressure port reads higher since its threaded into the thick trans case vs a 1/8" thick trans pan... Which means it will read a hair higher because of the cases heat.

Ah cool. I'm putting mine there. I didn't want to drill the pan.

As long as you have a nice trans cooler near a good airflow source you'll be fine with temps..

I researched the pressure port vs pan and sometimes the port is higher, sometimes lower.. For the most part it was higher

I have a giant B&M transcooler with AN fittings...

Nice, I have the big tru-cool.. I think b&m makes it too

The temp gauge is cool to have to warn you to lay off the throttle or park the car

Its so much better that the threads don't even match the sensor you just bought. You should try listening more, and putting your threads in the right section would help as well.

Moving to Automatic.

I recall a thread from 1-1/2 years ago where the OP had a temperature sensor in the pressure port; the sensor sprung a leak from the vibration and, IIRC, burnt out the trans.

The HP Tuners scanner can read the trans temperature from the factory sensor. It appears that some programmable "multi-gauges" cannot access the trans temperature, but since some scanners can read the temperature, I would expect that some OBD-II connected gauges could also read it. Does anyone know which gauges can read the factory sensor value?

Well that blows.

I used part #ATM-5457 from summit racing, mounted the gauge in the leftmost vent, sender is in the pan. I just bought the right sized nut for the sender and had it welded in (guy did it for free).

We spend all this time and money and a bung in the pan is out of the question? Two options, one an aftermarket aluminum pan and the bung will already be there, two weld a bung in the stock pan and it can double as a drain plug and won't cost much. Service your trans while youre in there. You aren't on soccer mom service intervals, you want your car to last and take abuse? Take care of it. Adding a bung is two birds with one stone. You're welcome.

I welded 2 bungs, that way I didn't have to remove the sender to drain..

I was thinking way ahead of the game lol

My sentiment as well. I had swapped over to using the TCI deep pan and since it was cast aluminum I just drilled and tapped an 1/8 NTP hole into the side. I no longer have a need for the pan if anyone wants to take it off my hands.
