What's the general consensus on where to attach the yellow and black twisted pair (with the attached copper 'washer') used for the transmission temperature gauge part of the Digi Panel?
TIA,
John

John, I have mine attached to the outgoing tube from torque converter to cooler. Now, I want to monitor that with my digi. I have a seperate gauge for the pan temperature. If you want to monitor the pan temp with the digi, don't attach it where I did.
There will be a big difference in the two temperatures. Most only want to see the pan temp. Torque converter temps, while towing and climbing, scares folks. I like living on the "edge".

John,

I put the sensor under one of the pan bolts at the rear. I have a gauge with a sensor in the pan and it tracks the Digi-Panel temp
quite closely.

Rob, I find the digi is pretty accurate when checking with a real analog meter too. Also, my torque converter temp tracks my engine water temp until I get into a long grade up, while towing. Then it rises a good bit pretty fast. But, it goes down almost as fast as it went up after cresting the hill or mountain. I know some folks dont care for the digi but I find the audible alarm worth a lot.
So John, did you see Rob's response? You are covered now, hook it up.
