Trans temp gauge FITTING

ParadiseXJ · Mar 19, 2008

I'm trying to install the sender for a trans temp gauge, in-line. I got the gauge, I got the sender. The brass sender threads in to a Tee with barb ends for the hose. The trans shop has compression fittings for a hard line but not for a hose.

Hardware store, we have a big Ace with just about everything here, except that fitting (they do have it in nylon, but not for high temp) NAPA? No! Plumbing Supply? No!

Can somebody point me in the right direction, this is driving me nuts.

Am I better off pulling the trans pan and tapping a bung in there?? Seems like a major pain, the in-line thing seems so much easier.

Don't you have a hard line coming out of and going into the tranny? Why can't you use either of those?

I was trying to avoid cutting the hard line. I thought I could just snip a hose and put it in. I can't believe that there isn't a fitting for the hose.

Pressure in a transmission cooler line is residual - no need to crimp. A small clamp on the hose barb will serve.

im pretty sure if i had more information about thread pitches and hose sizes and what you're going from - to i could find you an edelmann number.

Just like this.

Found it with the help of a decent hardware guy, helped me put it together. Likely the strongest part of the whole system.

Is it the B&M kit?
If so it is designed for installation in the hardline for grounding.
You will get false readings if its not grounded somehow....

It is not the B&M kit, but I've got the ground figured out, thanks.
