Point it at the pan, the cooler lines, or the case and read surface temperature in a second, so you can spot an overheating transmission before it cooks the fluid.
Heat is what kills a transmission. An overloaded converter, a plugged cooler, or a slipping clutch pack all show up as temperature long before you hear a noise, and a non-contact gun is the fastest way to find it. Aim the Klein IR1 at the pan, the cooler inlet and outlet, or the case and it reads the surface temperature instantly with a single-point laser to show you exactly where you are aiming. The 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio means you can stand back from a hot exhaust or a spinning driveshaft and still get a tight reading.
It measures from -4F to 752F, which covers everything from a cold-soaked pan to a badly overheating unit, and the fixed 0.95 emissivity is right in the range for the painted metal, cast aluminum, and rubber lines you point it at on a car. The backlit screen is readable under a lift, it powers off on its own to save the battery, and Klein rates the housing for a 6.6 foot drop so it survives getting knocked off the bench. Comes with a pouch and batteries so it is ready to use out of the box. Ships from the USA.
