4L30 test port location

[rowhard]

let me throw this out there before I pay someone to show me. I am going to install some gauges, one being a transmission oil temp. Does anyone out there in VX land have a clue where there is a good test port on our transmissions to plug into :confused:

:thanx: in advance

Where did you find it?

Where did you find it?

page 7A-23 in the workshop manual. Not to difficult to remove, 7/16" socket, with a 6 inch extension and 3/8 ratchet. Had to spray it with penetrating oil, was more or less rusted in. Was worried about rounding it or snapping it off, but it came loose finally with far more then the 7 to 10 pound foot of torque that it's suppose to be torqued to.

Where did you get the temp sender unit from and what other gauges are you adding? I've always thought an oil pressure would also be a smart gauge to have considering some of the engine failures.

I thought the oil filter sandwich adapter was pretty cool way to go. It should be as accurate as a direct plugin, into the engine,... I hope
