Transmission temerature question?

[thomas_sorrentino]

Leroy,

When I stopped last night the gauge said 200. I checked the tranny
sump with the infrared and it said 200. So I think the gauge is
accurate. I'll double check it a few more times.

I do not know the ohm range for the 140-320 gauge. It may have
somethng to do with the grounding of the threads.(ie.. if pipe dope
was used to install) You can try to contact Joe Federsel at
JFedersel.tflx.com and see it he can give you the range for that
gauge sender.The gauge part number should be 9153475 and the sender
number should be 52320S002(mfg sender code E) There is a trouble
shooting guide at http://www.teleflexmarine.com but I cannot find the thing
at this moment. It may have been moved from its prior location.
