However since my car already has a water temp gauge I want to use it as a transmission temp gauge. Last edited by TerryMason 03-23-2010 at 11:29 AM. I want to get one of those sunpro triple gauge packs. At around $80 it wasn't the cheapest, but it looked nice so I went with it. I picked the Cyberdyne Blue Ice Digital Gauge (part number A221E351Y) from Jegs.
How to install transmission temperature gauge install#
How do I install this thing Someone told me that I need to fabricate a box to go inline with the cooling tubes, but another person told me that there is a place I can plug the sensor in the side. That's where the transmission temp gauge comes in.Īfter some research, I decided to pickup a digital temp gauge, along with a sender (the sender gets mounted in the transmission pan). I just bought an AutoMeter transmission temperature gauge for my 92 Yukon. The sad part is that this is a pretty easily avoidable situation - if you simply knew when your transmission was overheating, you could let your Jeep cool down.
Heat is the main reason that transmissions die, and once you cook your transmission your looking at some costly repairs. The sender wire and ground wire should already be attached on the chassis end. With the gauge in the pod, continue the wiring job.
Now the gauge should just press into the pod without any trouble.

So when installing the temperature sensor or transmission sender as long as you can read the fluid temperature it doesn't matter too much. Simply remove the plug and get an adapter that fits the temp sensor and install it into the port. One of the biggest problems with an automatic in a Jeep is that the low speeds you see in rock crawling cause less airflow, making the transmission heat up quickly. The purpose for installing the temperature gauge is to be able to keep an eye on the transmissions fluid temperature. While autos aren't for everyone, they definitely have their fans (me among them). Personally, I enjoy my automatic transmission - It's nice around town, and is great for offroading, allowing me to focus on my lines, and where I'm going, instead of worrying about my clutch burning out, or engine stalling.
