My buddy has an Auto Meter Trans temp gauge that he will give me. Is it a good investment to have one? How many people are running one? What is the normal temp that it should read?

 

yes get one, why dont you have one on there now?

 

Yes I have one, and you should have on as well. Temp reading will vary based on where it is placed. Popular choices are: In the Pan, Service port, or cooler line

Mine is in the service port. Read about 175 while crusing, although it can get to 210 while in stop and go traffic in Dallas, TX heat 100*+

 

Should you get one for a pretty much stock car that will have mods like headers and stall in the future?

 

Yes. Get a cooler too while you're at it, good idea even on a stock stalled auto.

 

I'll take that as a Hurry up you dumb ***. )

I have an aftermarket tranny cooler so thats good. I just never thought about a temp gauge for the tranny.
