Velvet Drive heat alarm sensor

[R&T Babich]

Anyone ever put in a 190 deg heat alarm sensor on their Velvet Drive?

This article on servicing the Velvet Drive mentions it: http://boatgears.net/boatgears2.htm
"If the ATF exceeds 190 degrees the anti-foaming agent breaks down. Foam in the fluid causes loss of pressure in the hydraulic system leading to clutch plate slip and heat damage."

I think it mounts in the plug on the top of the case.
It could be hooked to one of those cheap back-up alarms.
Seems like a good idea.

It sounds like it's only required if you add their mods so that your tranny can handle higher HP.
