Trying to install a temp sensor in the -6 trans line. What fitting do you use. The auto meter block that they sell is a monstrosity.

Joe's Racing makes a real nice manifold. I put one on my car last winter trying to avoid drilling into my cast aluminum pan.

every professionally plumbed and wired car I have seen including both of mine have the sensor in the pan.

You obviously have a trans issue based on your several threads, posts, comments.

Really great piece of technical knowledge there!! If every reply from you is, "all I know is I call the most reputable builders and do what they tell me" then why are you on this forum? Keep your moobs off the keyboard and maybe try and learn something. Or go order a $105,000 dragster so you can make the buyback line prettier.

Several fitting companies make a -6 male to -6 female fitting with a 1/8" NPT h0le. They aren't that big. If you have a trans cooler with AN fittings it is simple.

I have mine in the pan because I wanted to know the transmission temperature going into converter. I can understand why you want it on the outlet and would like to know the results.
What ever it does not matter where so and so sticks it. In fact it is easy enough to move it from one to the other to see he difference. Go for it. Your car you do what you want.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

1320 Racer. No I dont have a trans issue! I did find last season the trans temp was creeping higher than it should. Since I have straightened that out. And no I dont have a dragster its a 3200 door car that runs in the 8s that I bracket race with.And I did not find this idea of a sensor in a cooler line on a forum.

This thread is a lot more open-minded than the Caitlyn Jenner thread in General Discussion.

Sounds like you are thinking like an engineer. Good for you. You have the right approach to finding your solution. The other thing you can do if space is a problem with the fitting solution that was previously offered is to use a -6AN T fitting and you can thread one of the exposed legs with a 1/8 NPT tap and thread the sensor directly into it.
