Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Planning on it, working on a location for the sensor. There is a oil sample port on the trans fluid line to the heat exchanger/cooler but it is small(1/8NPT) but that seems like an ideal place to sample. might have to put a T fitting and a small bleed line back to the transmission to create a tiny flow for a reliable temp sample port there...Anyone add a transmission temperature gauge ? I have an auto meter one in the garage left over from another project trying to repurpose it

I havn't come across one that I like yet. There are of course drain plugs but kind of exposed on the bottom of the control module. All the other ports I believe are pressure test ports so might not have any real fluid flow there. I have not seen one indicated specifically for temp sense, Allison does it on the control module internally...I was thinking same area but wasn't sure if there was a port on the transmission itself
