Transmission Question

[mrschendel]

Looking for a easy place to put a Trans temp sensor. I have this pic of the Trans on the passenger side. The 12 mm plug? Or is it a plug? Was going to remove it but I think I will try to find out what it is first.So take a look and see what you think it is. By the way did you know the Trans in a 01 XJ is made in Japan It says in on the tag next to the 12 mm plug

Yeah - the Aisin-Warner AW4 was designed by Toyota, and finds use in some Toyota and Lexus RWD models. I think the Toyota Pickup used it for a while, the RWD minivan they had, and the Celica and Supra also used it.

Considering it's a Japanese box, I'm amazed. Not only is the thing ROCK SOLID, but it's one of the easiest slushboxes I've ever torn into! For pure durability and ease of service & repair, it's only been beat (in my experience) by Alison slushboxes - the damn THM350/400 is more difficult to work with, and I've done dozens of those!

There is a pressure test port on the case, that is used to diagnose sloppy operating and some slippage issues. I don't recall what size it is, but 12m/m wants to sound about right.
