best place to monitor tranny temp from.

[Pro-touring towncar]

I am wanting to add a transmision temp guage. Where would be the best place to get the reading from the line or the pan. I need to know if I need to get a manifold for the line or install a bung in the pan.



Thanks
Tim

Here is post #11 of the thread:

The discharge or out line is converter discharge oil. It will tell you the temp of the converter discharge but NOT what the trans is seeing.
As for the temp bung in the pan, that can be what we call "stagnent" oil meaning, it is really not always in the circuit. By measuring at the return cooler line shows EXACTLY what the lube return circuit temp is and what the lubrication temp is...
