Thay said that for the best accuracy, use a mechanical gauge that taps into the pan, however this will add complications when changing your filter.<br /> You could also install an electric one, just screw it into the test-ports on the tranny's case. This is less accurate, but easier. He also mentioned NOT to install the temp sensor in-line or near the cooler, this will lead to an artificially high ro low reading.<br /><br />Hope this helps!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>j0eyabs</b> <br /><small>Member # 1026</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,25,10,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> well i was planning on buying the electrical one cause its ok if its not 100% accurate i just want it to be close. where are the test ports on a AOD transmission? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>99Red250</b> <br /><small>Member # 1923</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,25,18,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You could pull pan and have a fitting welded in it.
