Transmission Temperature Gauges

The most common cause of transmission failure is heat. Excess heat can build up due to many different reasons, including:

• Slipping clutches in a well-worn transmission
• Low fluid level in the transmission
• Lack of cooling capacity
• Driving style
• Excessive power increases
• Towing heavy loads up ranges

While all of these reasons can be addressed, some of them are easier said than done. But without having some sort of transmission temp gauge or monitoring system, how do you know if you are making your situation better or worse? Is your transmission actually overheating? If your problem coming from somewhere else?

This is why we highly recommend that ALL vehicles fit one of our Transmission Temperature Gauges to give you real time feedback on your driving style's strain on the automatic transmission. Most importantly, with a transmission temperature monitor you will be able to understand what is 'Normal' for your transmission during your normal day to day driving. When you put extra strain on your transmission with an automatic transmission temperature gauge kit fitted, you will be able to see how your transmission is handling that extra strain and how long it takes to return to 'Normal' afterwards.
