How did you tap your tranny temp sender into either the feed or return cooler line? I got my tranny temp guage today in the mail. I will be installing it this weekend. I want to put the sender in the cooler feed line that feeds to the external cooler but I am not sure how all of you did it. Did you guy a T fitting or something and just plumb it in there? Please explain how you tapped into one of those lines.
Or do you think I should just put it in the pressure port on the side of the transmisison? I have seen lots of controversy over this from doing the search feature and it doesnt seem like there is a for sure way to do it. Lets hear some more input on the subject. thanks

You can get a brass tee fitting , and i believe the tubing is 5/16,use compression connectors.If you have a FASTENAL company nearby, they should have everything you need .

The hose should 5/16". Use a brass T fitting with barbed ends and just take the sender with you, so you'll have the right size and get some teflon tape. Also if you are using a rubber hose, you'll have to run a ground(braze a piece of wire onto it) from the fitting to a suitable ground on the chassis or the guage will not operate.
