Quick question about the drain plug on the MTX.

[mcgarvey]

Well it does have a temperature range designed in. ATXs usually run somewhere around 180 degrees or hotter, so a gauge or sender that is intended for use on an ATX might not even read the much lower MTX temps. I'd be surprised if the gear oil ever exceeded even 110 degrees. You may find that the gauge won't read anything.

Just so you understand, no manual transmission has ever failed due to heat! Why not hook your temp sensor up to a coolant hose or something, and use the gauge to measure water temperature. That would be a lot more functional and a lot less ricey.

But hey, if this is what you've got your heart set on, don't let us discourage you. To each his own.

The gauge starts at 100 degrees, so it should read something.

maybe you could use it to check YOUR temperature, old-school style...

Yep, you're right! It will read 100 degrees. All the time.

If you don't know how hot it actually gets, why don't you go be a smart ass in another thread?

His opinnion is a good one and I dont thik it was just a blunt guess. But since you probably have installed the gauge by now, whas he right or not?
