M6 Trans Temp OBD/gauge
My 2 OBDLink OBD readers won’t get the trans temp.
I’m pretty sure I can get it with my Tech 2, but, that’s not practical at the track -
Anyone have an OBD reader/software that will get it?
Also, anyone wire up a gauge for the dashboard?
It would be great to have while tracking the car.
thank you!

I sent a support request to OBDlink and received the following reply which enabled me to expose the trans temperature PID.
If you are able to connect to your vehicle via the OBDLink app, may I ask if any of the built-in GM PIDs work for your vehicle?

Got nothing on the OBD reader for tranny fluid temp even with the PIDs loaded.
So, it seems according to the service manual that for the 2006 C6 Z51, only the Z06 or an export model (VD1?) gets the tranny temperature sensor and it's only for an overheat condition.
Any way to install a temp guage for the manual tranny?
