Transmission temperature gauge

[aarolar]

I am planning to install a transmission temp gauge soon and am contemplating where to mount it. I am considering one of those pods that mounts on the A pillar but that kinda seems overly fast and furious to me in a way, how do those things work anyhow do they just snap over the existing plastic? Any body else have any ideas for a clean way to install a gauge somewhere view-able but not overly obvious.

I've installed several on the A-pillar. I use the Autometer pods. They involve drilling 4 holes in the a-pillar and using 4 "christmas tree" clips to hold the pod in place.

Here's a link

If you have an overhead console with a blank plate where A/C controls would go in a Burb/Tahoe that might also be a good spot.

I too am contemplating a temp gauge for my 97 Sierra. What I would like to know is, where does the sensor go in the transmission? Anyone have a source for these gauges, maybe Summit also?

This is the exact gauge I've used in 3 installs on GMT400's. Matches the factory gauges perfect.

Comes with the necessary sender to work on these transmissons (4L60E and 4L80E, I would assume it'd work on the 700R4 as well.)

The sender goes into the pressure test port on the transmission. It's just above the shift linkage. Easy to remove and you only lose a couple drips of fluid.

Just installed one today actually lol.

Napa carries Autometer gauges... I've always put them under the dash

Hope this thread helps you guys out, shows several different gauges and places to install them as well.

I used the same exact mount for my setup but used the white face autometer gauge.

That would have been an easy topic to search for.

Here is a 3 pod autometer cluster on my 1996. It doesn't seem to block as much of the a-pillar blind spot that I thought it would.
