I buy from HERE. Good pricing, (plenty of profit margin for me selling locally to support my habit a little) and free shipping.

 

This is the only other option I've found for inline transmission sensor.

could you just make one from fittings at Lowe's/Home Depot? It is just a basic 3/8 T compression fitting. I would think that maybe cheaper.

 

Live with it dude. It's the best way to go, simple as that.

Sure you can, but it will cost the same or more, and will restrict flow, and/or the tip of the sensor will be out of the fluid too far for a good reading.

 

Funny that you recommended them. I actually already had them on my watchlist from that same exact buyer. I went ahead and ordered them this morning, i just hope that my tranny will keep from grenading. Hit 210 today for a sec and i shut it off. Im really hoping that a fluid change filter and the govenor and selonoid fix the issue. Im wonderin about adding a trans oil pressure gauge.

 

ahhah i found another option for a line manifold. this one will allow for a second sensor to run my psi gauge.

That's kinda neat. Good find!

 

if i get a pressure gauge how high does it need to read? Ive noticed that most regular oil pressure gauges stop at 100-150 psi but there are a few transmission oil pressure specific gauges that all go to 300 psi? do our transmissions ever see that much pressure?

 

Pressures will vary based on rpm and gear as well as what port you put it in. Pressure on colling line will be very low, and is not an indiactor of anything happening inside tranny.

 

well dang. that blows my idea out of the water. What am i going to use that second sensor port for now. lol. i guess ill just plug it.

 

After you buy all the adapters and double flare tools to install that $19 hunk of metal in the line, you'll spend the same or more money and a lot more time installing. Good luck, hope it works out for you.
