9020 oil temp sensor

[micbou3]

 The oil temp sensor was jamed in the rear end casting and I damaged it when I changed the oil. All the simplicity dealers around me are gone and I am asking if there is a replacement part I could use.

This is the transmission oil temp sensor you are looking for?  One on Fleabay right now

I am pretty sure it is a standard automotive temp sensor from that era. I would take it to an auto parts store , a good counterman should be able to hook you up. I think mine has a temp rating stamped on it on the inside.

I'm assuming they are probably GM, just my thoughts . they look comparable to some temp units I seen in Chevys over the years

Where is the sensor located?  My "new" 720 does not have it hooked up,  and I want to hook it up. 

Thanks.

Merle if not there it should be on front toward engine on right lower side, you probably have a plug there, like 1/2 in. pipe plug

Here's picture without the hydro unit. Hope this helps

Thanks. Will look when it's a little warmer - 12 degrees again this morning.

Thanks all for your good info. I have a NAPA store not far from my place and I'll check with them.

More then likely, the temp value of you existing one is stamped in around the nut area.

Thanks, Bob.

Guys if you find, please post any info on temp sender replacement with automotive part.  I am interested and I'm sure others as well.

Did not find it yet. I will post the info if I find it.

If it is just a switch and not a variable resistance to run a gauge, any sender would work with the proper temp rating (which I have know idea what that would be for a hydro).
