Reverse Warning Sensors

[Chris Skinner]

Hi Gerrit - you 100% correct, I just could not find the items, sensor etc to put something in-line.
If anyone has some ideas let me know.

Chris,
I feel it depend on what the 105 to 110 DegC was referring
With my limited technical knowledge I would suspect that the first danger would be the oil over heating and degrading loosing is lubricating ability. If this is the case I would agree with Gerrit.
The next danger zone would be damage to the electrical/electronic devises within the gearbox. Then I feel a sump oil temperature/housing temperature might be the more accurate item to monitor.
The best might still be to try and keep the hottest item below the specified temperature then you should be save.

Thanks for the inputs.
I think at least now I will know what the normal temp is and will be able to assess when it is excessive.
I would like to measure the oil but have no way of doing that.
This was the easiest and most cost effective solution I could think of

Chris,
If you realy want the oil temperature just attach the probe to the gearbox line, feading to the oil cooler in the radiator.
The line it self will be so close to the actual oil temp you would not know the differance.
