Default Trans temp sensor
Im wondering if there is anyway to wire into the stock trans temp sensor that is originally in the trans and if anybody has done it. Im trying to wire an aftermarket gauge and don't want to tap the oil pan. Thanks in advance.

you can tap into the pressure port plug on the up side (drivers side)

There are no wires. Its a port where you can thread in a trans temp sensor.
