1KZTE auto trans oil sensor

1KZ TE
Can anyone tell me what the thread is for the Auto trans oil temp sensor please? Is it 1/8 NPT? Or BSP? Or GAS?

I want to install a second sensor and run it up to a gauge. Thinking this is the easiest place to insert an adaptor so I can screw the orig back in and have a second hole for the new gauge sensor? Or is there anywhere else pls? I could go into the sep oil cooler rubber pipe?

Its not NPT.
Will be a metric straight thread with an oring.

Toyo part number is 89429-34010
Goggle may help you find an after market unit and get the thread specs...
I have had a quick look and all the info doesn't show the thread sizes.

Also looking at the picture you posted...
For the 1KZTE the sensor is in the line via a Tee of sorts.
Where as the Petrol engines ones have it in a port just forward on the side of the box.
Perhaps you could tap into that one...
A thread I found shows someone using this forward port.....

Thanks for the part number. I'll google

Under the vehicle I definitely see the T you mention. It looks like the diag above, the sensor screws into one of the cooler lines from above.
I didn't notice that torx bolt in the link you posted. Will have another look as that could be the go if it's there! Thx for that
