pugwash Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I need to put an temp probe into a autobox cooler line- have the probe but can't find anywhere which sells inline ports. Surely it's not an uncommon request- where should i be looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Do you mean a T-piece? Is it a threaded temp sender or what? Ye Olde Hydraulics shoppe would be my first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 what sort of pipe size are you talking? a compression T fitting should be available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Jim, I just used a "long" hydraulic coupler nut, drilled and tapped one face and screwed in the original RR sender. No problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Jim, are you looking for something like this? Depending on your size requirements I may have something suitable in the garage new and unused I could let you have at a good price. Bought it to put oil temp guage in for my auto box but put the guage in the sump instead. IIRC it has 13mm hose connections, not sure of the threaded fitting but I had an adaptor to fit a RaceTech capiliary guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 What kind of temperatures do autoboxes run? Could I mount another water temp sender and wire it through a switch to my water temp gauge (which is marked in deg C)? Obviously the red bit wouldn't be applicable but it would give an idea?

No reason why not, I don't think they run over a vastly different temperature range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Mine normally goes up to about 80-90°C, I think over 120°C isn't good for the ATF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
