LOCaTION
Note: transmission oil temperature
is most appropriately observed at
its hottest point. this is commonly
found in the transmission oil pan.
Most transmissions do not provide
a location for installing a sensor in
the pan. therefore it is necessary to
weld a bung into the pan to measure
temperature. on most transmissions,
alternate sensor locations are
available. While the use of an alternate
location will give accurate temperature
readings under fully loaded conditions,
temperatures may read low under light
to moderate load conditions.
OIL PaN
Note: this procedure is provided for
transmissions with steel pans. For
aluminum pans, locate a portion of the
pan with a thickness of at least 3 /
16
”.
Drill a hole with a letter R drill (.399”)
and tap the hole with a 1 /
8
” NPt tap.
Install the sensor in this location.
1.
Place a clean drain pan large
enough to hold the contents of the
transmission oil pan (2 gallons or
larger) underneath the transmission.
2.
Loosen the bolts holding the pan
onto the bottom of the transmission,
starting at the rear and working
forward. When oil begins to drain,
make sure the drain pan is underneath
it. Sometimes it is necessary to tap the
edge of the transmission pan with a
hammer, or to lightly pry it to get the
fluid to begin draining. Do this before
removing all of the bolts.
3.
As the fluid drains out, carefully
remove the bolts, continuing to drain
the fluid into the drain pan.
4.
After the pan has been removed,
clean it thoroughly with solvent or
brake degreaser and dry it thoroughly.
5.
Select a sensor location on the side
of the pan along the lower edge, where
the sensor will be below the fluid level
in the pan and clear of valve body.
Mark the location and drill a 3 /
8
” hole.
Before drilling check to make sure that
the bung will sit flat on the sheet metal
of the pan.
6.
Deburr both sides of the hole and
remove any paint around the hole
where the weld will be made.
7.
Weld the bung onto the pan. The
temperature sending unit may be used
for locating the bung over the hole,
but only for tack welding or marking.
Do not weld the bung with the sending
unit screwed into it. The bung and
sensor have a tapered pipe thread. Be
