Here is how I added a temp prob to my trans pan. Study the pan and valve body carefully before you drill the hole. Things that you stick inside the pan through a hole you created have to clear everything. I've had this set-up on my trans pan for 13 yrs. No leaks, no problems. JWID

Look at this pic and the next two in the album.

Forgot to mention, doing this to a stock pan also gives you a drain. Just unscrew the temp probe and drain most of the fluid. Works for me. I have been reluctant to use the Ragusa pan because of some reports in this forum of the aluminum "seeping" trans fluid. In addition, the stock pan runs right up against the trans filter, so if the filter should for what ever reason drop, the pan will hold it in place. The Ragusa is an inch deeper and if the filter drops, it could potentially drop out of the receiver allowing the trans to suck air. Just what I think might happen. IMO, the original steel pan is more than adequate for the task at hand. JWIT other opinions vary.
