Trans Temp Indicator: Description

A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all gasoline engine instrument clusters. The transmission over-temperature indicator is located near the lower right corner of the instrument cluster, to the right of the speedometer. The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of the words "TRANS OVER TEMP" imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The words "TRANS OVER TEMP" appear silhouetted against an amber field through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The transmission over-temperature indicator lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood and mask unit.
