Default New B&M Trans Temp Gauge

We finally have a new trans temp gauge, and complimentary coolant gauge. These new Blackout Series 2-1/16” gauges offer a high contrast lens, LED backlighting, full sweep. Below is a picture of the trans temp gauge installed in my 2001 Camaro SS. I installed the gauge on the test port of the 4L60E and verified the results with HPTuners, it was within 2-3 degrees. The trans temp gauge (#80330) retail for $80.00 and the Coolant gauge (#80331) retails for $75.00. I used the convertible plate and mounted the gauge on it, it compliments the interior very well. It is very easy to see in daylight and very clear at night. The guage is blacked out when the power is shut off.

Seems like a popular loaction and looks great. That is where I have my Innovate Wideband Gauge. That gives the Camaro Guys an option other than the pods type gauges.

Does it include a sender that will fit into the 4L60E? I never bought one before but I plan on it for my future mods.

Yeah, I never really liked the pillar pods. I figure, if I delete the cig lighter, I can mount two gauges there. That is all I really want. The trans temp and a vacuum gauge.

Yes! I comes with the 1/8 NPT sender, as well as mounting hardware.

The test port is located on the driver's side of the trans, just above the trans shift lever.

I might want to invest in that at the same time as my cooler, and stall. Thanks.

Did you buy that from one of the sponsors or someone else?

Any one of the LS1Tech sponsors, that carry B&M products, should be able to get this for you.

Nope! You need to go from under the vehicle, see attached pic.
