Default installing autometer trans temp?

I was reading on past threads about putting the temp probe in the pressure port on the tranny an it'll thread right in, but where is the pressure port on a 4l60e?

Holy dirty transmission batman! hahaha Im glad i never take any of my trucks offroad, i would hate to have been the one who pulled that trans out!

That port will work just fine, some guys even get a bung welded to the pan. Thats how john used to have his on his old truck...

You should be able to snake your hand up there to thread it in
