brad----- a trans temp gauge is cheap insurance. will cost you
about 40 dollar or so and is a heck of a lot cheaper than a tranny
overhaul. you want that tranny to run as cool as you can get it to. the
more heat the less life you will have in it. get one, install it, and
read it all the time. the proper place for the sending unit is in the
pan.( i know this will cause a stir but lets see what others say. how
about it, who wants to say otherwise,and tell us why.
