Just bought a gauge cluster with trans temp in it and I want to try to get it to work with the NV4500. The NV4500 does not come with a trans temp sensor of any kind but it should be fairly easy to add since the NV4500 has a PTO port on each side and there are PTO coolers available that space the cover out a few inches and one even comes tapped with a sight glass. My plan was to buy a PTO cooler, weld a bung to the cover with the correct threads for a sensor and plug it in like normal, the problem is I'm not sure what sensors will work. I see a factory 2500, 6.0 trans temp sensor that looks like this first picture. Clearly, there are no direct threads and instead, the sensor plugs in and is sealed with an O-ring and held in place by a mounting bolt. I'm not sure how I would be able to adapt that to fit directly into a PTO cover as shown in the second picture.
Does anyone know of another sensor that could be plug-and-play? Or is the trans temp gauge simply looking for a 1-5v signal and maybe a universal sensor like this would work?
