definitiveno said:So whats IPT's guage sender block all about? Is that some how better than T'ing into the cooler line?
I made mine for 9 bucks at the hardware store a couple days ago and also saved the 11 bucks it would have cost to ship.....EclpzLvr97 said:It's 19 bux....not *that* expensive.

It does look a lil nicer though
First of all, tap your pan and it will leak. Secondly the idea is not to know exactly what temperature it is, although putting it as reasonably close to the feed line will give you this reading, it is to establish what is and what is not normal. When I called and asked IPT where I should be putting my guage temp sender I was told to put it as close to the feed line AFTER the trans cooler. The idea is that I want to know how hot the fluid is going into my trans. Once youve heat soaked your cooler and you can't supply cool fluid to your trans this will register on your guage and let you know you need to give that bi*** a rest. Tell your dad this is from one of the most revered DSM trans builders and he is wrong, and then you-1/dad-0asexton6969 said:Well it looks like i have another problem. I was going to do the mod the other day and my dad came down to the shop. Asked what i was doing and i told him. His response, "hell no, do that shit right and dont ghetto rig it." Now first, Im surprised my dad just said "ghetto." Second, he has a point that the fluid would be starting to cool off as soon as it gets in to the lines. He thinks i should tap the pan like the instructions say. What do some of you guys think.
Sure, I can take some a little later....howie3 said:Do you have any pics?
Hi, I have a 96 GSX auto with basic mods, I was wondering if anyone else here who's automatic has a transmission temperature gauge. If so, how useful is it. Would it be better just to not get one and let the car cool down after brake boosting for a run, or is it better to be safe and get the gauge and know what temp it is operating at... Thanks
Cool. And what about the A/T boost controller? Any good? What would be the best order to do all the transmission mods in? I was thinking:
A/T boost controller
Shift Kit
Maybe end clutches
torque converter
Any input?
