As long as you have a nice big cooler in a good location, I don't see the *need* for a trans temp gauge. I don't use one, and haven't had a "blowing up due to heat" problem on my th350

I race mine once in awhile and the trans temp gauge is my indicator of when to stop. Granted, the gauge is not really needed and I think too many gauges looks bad. In the TA, the AC vents are a perfect place to install a 2 5/8 gauge and I put one in. Most of the time, my temps are below 180 and the gauge is more visual. At the track, once I am over 200 degrees time to shut it down.
