Where can I get a transmission temperature gauge?
All of our Transmission Temperature Gauge Kits come with replacement cooler union fittings for the ‘Hot’ line, with the temperature sensor already fitted. We also use high temperature silicone insulated wire for the sensor connection, as it is quite often run through the engine bay and close to the exhaust system. Get Yours Today!
How can you tell the ideal transmission temperature?
Regular maintenance and checkup is the key to keeping ideal transmission temperature. Inspect the components to see if they are showing any wearing sign. The fluid should be at the right level and color. Normal fluid looks red odor dark red but it’s a matter of concern when it develops a brownish tinge or turns dark.
Why do you need a temperature sensor on a transmission?
Knowing where to put the temperature sensor so that it picks up on the hottest temperature point is the most important factor in having reliable feedback. Most automotive transmissions have two cooler lines that allow the fluid to flow through the oil coolers. One will be a ‘Hot’ line, with the other being the ‘Cold’ line.
What’s the temperature on the intellitronix transmission cooler?
The Intellitronix MS9107G LED digital trans temp gauge provides a 50 to 350 F temperature reading with an easy to read LED lit face. The numbers on the Intellitronix MS9107G are 33% larger than other digital trans temp gauges, which makes it easier to read. Another great feature of this gauge is that is provides automatic night dimming.
What should the temperature be for an automatic transmission?
The ideal temperature for an automatic transmission is around 175 degrees. Cars do often have the coolant for the engine as a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid and therefore, they will often hold the same temperature if you are driving it normal. However, if your transmission is slipping a lot…
Why does the transmission fluid always hold the same temperature?
Cars often have the coolant for the engine as a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid and therefore, they will often hold the same temperature if you are driving it normally.
What happens if you don’t put coolant on your transmission?
However, if your transmission is slipping a lot or you are pulling something heavy, the coolant may not be enough to cool the transmission efficiency and the temperature may rise drastically to temperatures over 240 degrees.
What happens when the transmission temperature reaches 290?
The fluid varnish starts destroying the internal components of the engine like the valves. By the time the temperatures reach 250 degrees, the rubber seals have started cracking and leaking pressure and liquid. At over 290 degrees, the transmission will often have stopped working due to damaged parts and seals.
