The only way to be sure is to stick the sender in some boiling water and note the temp. Maybe you could extend the wiring from under the car and boil some water in a saucepan on a camp stove. To be really accurate you would need to measure the colourless steam or use distilled water but I'd be happy with +/- 5*.
Another issue will be... is the replacement sender within the same resistance range as the original? not all senders are compatible with all gauges
It looks like you might be right about that because I'm not getting any reading on the gauge.
Email from Tridon: "The TTS036 is a water temperature sender. It is not designed for automatic transmissions. The internal specifications will not suit your gauge and the unit will not withstand the high temperatures produced by your transmission."
