Hi all I thank all of you for your info that I read and I have learned a lot of things. I'm getting ready to install machnical gauges and was wondering where the best place for the sending unit for the transmission temp would go or where others have put them?

Gene,
This device is better than mechanical gages (although my Avion in the USA has both).

Larry,
Where did you purchase the adapter from or whom, and what part# would I use?
Thanks

Keep in mind that what is important is to know the temp of the fluid being
pumped into the trans.
Should you want to monitor the out temp, it will be very high when a load
is placed.

Oh Geese John....that was 10 or so years ago that I did that. IIRC the adaptors came with the gauge. I just made what came with it work. Added the fiber washers and gooed it up with silicon. Also had to saw off the end of the brass piece inside of the pan so the temp probe would be surrounded by fluid. I could not find a Trans temp gauge that would match what I had and was reasonably priced, so I used a Water Temp gauge. With my new dash, I have now used a "Oil Temp" gauge that matches the SW gauges I put in. Just what I did.

I like the Ragusa pan and the Digi panel. I have ran both in the past.
Now, with my newer coach I'm running the Ragusa pan. I like it because it is thicker material, and doesn't leak like my stock pan did. Also holds more tranny fluid.
But, I'm also going to install the Digi panel when I get a chance.
Scott.

Scott, I have both and glad that I do, although the panel just stopped
working the other day. I'll have to investigate that as it has worked
without fail since installing several years ago.

I think I have the manual and schematic for the Digi panel if you need a copy to troubleshoot.

The DigiPanel is now owned by Jim K as the original builder got out of the business. The schematic may be propriety, but you can ask him if he will release it.

Gene,
I have a paper copy of the manual (4 pages) in the mail to you. Unfortunately there is no detailed schematic.but it does have the wiring diagram.
It is pretty much the same as on the Digi panel web site.
I hope it's what you need.

Planning to add digi-panel to my GMC and want to know which trans cooling line is better, in or out. Jim seems to recommend the in line and the instruction recommend the out line.
So which line do most of you use? Any one got video or pictures of installing the panel in general or the sensors in particular.
