Tranny temp gauge install Looking for some advice here on installing the tranny temp sensor. I'm not really enthusiastic about drilling a hole in the tranny pan and welding the sensor there. I found something that some diesel trucks are doing to set theirs up. They slice a hot tranny line and install the lines on this adapter and screw the sensor in the middle:
I think they specifically use the tranny cooler line
Anything like this available for the 4L60E? Or is this even possible with our cars? Are there any substitutes?
Thanks for the help

There is a test port on the drivers side of the 4L60E that I used for my temp guage. It just uses the the temp sensor that I got with the guage. It screws right in no problem.
Now I have heard its a few degrees off but its off to the good if you know what I mean.
You can PM me your email I will send you a pic of it. Hope this helps!

Any other insight?
I would think you can do what you are planning off the radiator..
My tranny cooler is mounting on the front of my AC condensor and I know there are two lines that go into/out of the cooler.. You could easily mount the setup you have shown into one of those lines...
Which semi-makes me want to run a temp guage there..

Which would explain why this wouldn't work 
Totally forgot about that.
HOWEVER, luckily I just received this picture stating this would work:
Supposedly the sensor that comes with the autometer gauge just screws right in!
