I posted this in the 60s forum but I think I might get more help in here so here goes
Ok mudders, I just recently purchased a Trans Cooler union from Rodney at Auto Wholesale Transmissions in Australia, and it comes with a VDO sender already installed in it! This will give me the most accurate reading on the temperature of the transmission without having to put a splice in my existing rubber lines or something like that. I contacted Rodney, who btw was such a pleasure to do business with, and he told me that the gauges that came with their kit for the US customers went from 100oF-300oF, the sender I know for a fact is a VDO sender, but the lowest reading VDO gauge I can find goes from 120oF-300oF, is this a major problem? Should that gauge work fine since the sender is from the same company? The way I understand it (and please correct me if I am wrong) the temperature senders from VDO all put out the same resistance (I think like 10ohms -150ohms iirc) and the gauges should all work within those same boundaries. So it should just be a matter of finding a gauge that has the correct temperature range that I need and not fitting it special to the sender correct? I'm hoping that's the case because it would all just work out a lot easier if it was
