Anyone have a clue on where I can get a new RB25 Thermal Transmitter... or by any chance is there any other car that uses a compatible one? The top of mine is cracked off... I don't know how many wires it has and how/where they connect to the transmitter... Is there a way to wire it up/fix it even with the top half missing?Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Kevin

thermal transmitter is for the gauge cluster temp gauge...just use the ka's TT to make it read right.

I thought it was the other way around?? There's two sensors... I thought the bigger one was the Coolant Temp Sensor for the gauge cluster and the smaller one is the Thermal Transmitter for the ECU...

How sure are you on that? Not trying to be a d!ck... I'm just making sure... b/c if that's the case then I don't really need to worry if the cluster gauge doesn't work... just as long as the ECU gets the info it needs...

And yea I had no clue what it was until I realized I had two sensors... and one was broken... so I looked it up in the FSM and that's what they called it... Basically just a stupid name for Temp Sensor...
