does anyone have a diagram of the 4l60E in our ls1s showing where on the transmission i can screw in a trans temp sender? i want to put a gauge right where the TCS switch is and then just put that switch somewhere else where i dont have to see it all the time.

i would mount it in the pan but i have an aftermarket aluminum pan so i cant weld a boss into that.

 

nevermind i finally found a pic online of where the test port is and i could plug the sender right into there.

 

You can also get a bung and weld it into the pan. The temp readings will be lower in the pan vs. in the pressure port.

 

any idea how much lower?

 

I have a aeroforce interceptor gauge. Takes the readings from the od2 port.

 

Pretty much what I did.

 

Case is NPS threads, senders are NPT. They are actually different.

 

So do i but from what iv read/been told it can read roughly 10 degrees higher than an aftermarket gauge in the pan.

 

oh wow. that aeroforce thing is awesome. i think im gonna cancel the order on the autometer for that. $150 for a trans temp gauge or $250 for 50 gauges in 1? its like a no brainer. only thing, is the obd2 cable plug that comes with it low profile or does it stick out and get in the way when your getting in and out of the car like when u have the hptuners plugged in?

 

This video will give you a better idea. This video IS NOT MY CAR

I tucked my wire up under the steering column so you cant see it. i also have the gauge mounted in the vent next to the a pillar so theres nothing showing at all. its very useful.

 

cant view the video till i get home from work. so its powered off when the car is off and then turns on when the car goes on im guessing? and if i last had it set to trans temp, next time i turn on the car it still goes to that or does it go to something else?

 

yes. you program it. maryland speed has the best prices on them that I could find

 

oh ok nice. did u need to remove the jumper wire and get a seperate 12v power wire? it says most pontiacs required this...

 

sorry for asking so many questions

 

It gets all its power thru the obd2

 

oh ok thanks. def gonna go this route

 

I think I've read if you have a '98 you need the 12V source, all other years you do not. Not sure on that though. I have a '99 and it works fine off of the OBD2 port.

 

Thats correct the 98s need to be hardwired. iv been to lazy to hardwire mine so i unplug and pug back in everytime lol.

 

dam and i have a '98. figures. wat about the standard gauges, someone on here said the npt threads of the sender is different than the threads on the pressure port? how would i then connect it?
