Default Auto tranny pan
Are there any aftermarket auto tranny pans that come with a drain plug?

Not that I know of, but you can drill and tap your own.

A new pan from the dealer is cheap. Drain plugs are cheap. Get both and have a shop weld it in for you. There is even a low spot in the pan where the factory SHOULD have installed one.

I installed the temp sensor and wired it to a gauge upstairs.
That was before I knew about the AeroForce gauge, which I have now. I still use the temp gauge, though.

Got it. Thanks. I thought the temp sensor in your photo was stock or something.

How do your temp sensor readings compare with your Aeroforce readings?

The installed gauge reads about a needle width cooler than the AeroForce gauge. Could be because the factory sensor is higher in the sump, inside the valve body.
