DIY Transmission Fluid Service Temp Check
I'm considering the option of adding a temp sensor to my transmission pan on my SRT6.
We need to know the fluid temperature to accurately gauge the proper fill level. I'm thinking why not buy a $50 digital trans. temp gauge from Summit or Jegs and make up a harness to use it as tool when needed to service the trans..
I would have to drill and weld a bung onto the trans. pan and install the sensor where it won't interfere with anything inside the pan housing.
When needed I would only need to clip onto the sensor and the battery to read the temp..
When not in use, just put a plastic cap over it.
A little labor but peace of mind and less guess work setting the proper fluid level......these tranny's aren't cheap.....
Am I missing anything here?
Input welcome.........
