Re: Transmission Cooler & Temp Gauge - 01 TJ
 

All auto TJ's have factory transmission coolers. If you want to add an
additional cooler the left side is the pressure line and the right side is the
return.

Re: Transmission Cooler & Temp Gauge - 01 TJ
 

Thanks. Why did you put the sender on the pan? I mean, the hottest
temperature would be on the pressure line going out of the trans. By the
time oil is back in the pan, it has been cooled by the cooler and mixed with
other oil in the pan. Also, its another location which can spring a leak.

Which model cooler and gauge did you install. I have bought Datcon smart
gauge which goes from 100 to 320 with a LED indicator triggered at 240 (on
the face it says TRANS TEMP). Also, where did you put the gauge? Can you
email me a photo? I have been scratching my head today. I am also putting
an engine oil temperature gauge for which I need to find a suitable sandwich
plate to go behind the oil filter for the sender. I have a similar Datcon
gauge, but its lower range and trigger and the face says OIL TEMP.

Thanks for you time and suggestions.

I have tried looking, but its difficult to read with all the dried mud caked
on around the area. I will try washing it and perhaps it helps.
