So when I bought my 77 360 to put in my truck the tranny came with a fluid level sending unit in the dipstick. It came out of an RV I was told. Does anyone know where I could get a gauge for this?

 

i am kind of lost. do you mean dipstick? if so your old transmissions dipstick and tube should be the same but you might have to get a new seal for it.

 

I agree on being lost. I have never seen a sending unit for tranny fluid level. They make a sending unit for fluid temp.

 

Maybe it is a tranny temp but I thought I remember the guy saying something about it being a fluid level. Ill upload a picture of it.

 

Never seen a temp sending unit like that. Does it have any numbers or anything on it?

 

4030647 is the only number I could find.

 

It is a fluid level sender. It is used in the aircraft industry apparently. You might want to contact these folks for a gauge to match it if you want to try to keep it.

thanks

 

This really makes me question the integrity of the transmission. The only reason I could think of to put a fluid level sending unit in a transmission was if it leaked like a sieve.

 

The OP hasn't said anything was wrong. Maybe a previous owner worked on airplanes and tried to update the trans with a fluid level gauge that was replaced on an aircraft. In the aircraft industry parts are changed out on schedule even if the work fine.
