Hey guys I am thinking of adding a fluid temp sensor in the tranny while I have it out and redoing my gauges and wiring. However, I have come to a crossroads of sorts to my plan.
Do I install the sensor in the line going to the exchanger, or the line coming from the exchanger?
I can think advantages of both and would like to hear your thoughts and experiences if you have done something similar.

Mine is forward and to the right of the return line on the transmission.

You talking about on top of the tranny directly beside the return? I do have a port there with an allen headed plug in it. It looks pretty rusty not sure it will come out easily, but I might try that.
Do have a complete temp sensor with gauge or just a high temp switch?

Yes, The Alan plug next to the return line.
No guage. Sender to alarm buzzer.
It's actually factory from '74.

normally the sender does go to the plug next to the cooler out line on top of the trans

What temp does your alarm go off? Looking at sensors now and I have found 195, 230 and 235

Since I've had it, the alarm has never gone off.
