Some guy's use the line pressure test port. I myself prefer the return cooler line or a bung in the pan. If you are running a 4l60e it already has an internal temp sensor that is wired up through the case connector. There are guy's using this system as well. I do know that it is possible. Vince

I use the Aeroforce Interceptor guage to monitor my trans temp. If you guys tune your cars using HP Tuners/EFI Live, you know that the trans temps settings used are the ones that are read from the PCM. With this guage, you plug it into a 12 volt power source for the one wire, and the other plugs into the OBD II port. You can scan and clear DTCs, use the shift light, it has a built in g-tech, and it reads the trans temp, actual coolant temp, intake air temp, volts, knock retard, timing, o2 reading, MAF readings, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now. It reads like 25-30 parameters and well worth the $200. A few of the sponsors carry it, including New Era Performance who I bought mine from.
