Default Gearbox/Rear Diff temperature

Just installed that cool SPA gauge...
Dual screen temperatures for gearbox and rear end...

But what's a typical temperature, for road driving and track driving.

Car is a Classic, standard gearbox and read diff...

I must be the first then...

Some info : between 80/90 °C for the gearbox on open road
between 60/70 °C for the rear diff on open road.

It will take a very LONG time to reach this, almost 60 km's of normal driving !!!


On track : Gearbox went to 125 °C
Rear diff up to 90 °C

You're welcome...

It's also a complete plug&play set.
All wires, sensors, brackets etc are included in the set.
You need to drill out the existing gearbox/diff plugs to put the sensors in.

Or make some in a lathe like I did.
