I have an Autometer tranny temp gauge in my truck. I used the aluminum temp
sending unit manifold/block that is sold by Mopar Performance. It sits inline
w/your trannys cooling lines. You have to cut through the cooling line and
splice in this chunk of aluminum. It comes w/all the fittings necessary. It
has 3 holes in it - 2 for the cooling lines and 1 for the temp sending unit. I
was a bit skeptical about cutting into my cooling lines but everything went
smooth w/no leaks 20K miles later. Works like a charm. Kinda expensive tho at
around $40. If I had to do it again - would probably just get the new MP deep
tranny pan that has a place for mounting a temp sending unit already (in
addition to a drain plug).
