ok, so craig in his wisdom has on his site has a how-to on how to put in an extra light on the dash...ok, and theres a way to hook up a tranny temp gauge, which i feel is a great idea for us auto owners, except...where am i gonna put the thing? my dad put one in on our van, but there were blank spots on the dash to put gauges; i dont see that here...so....what about hooking up a system so that if the tranny reaches a certain temperature, the light comes on? brilliant right? except i have no clue what temp i would use or how to hook it up, and now i rely on others expertise here b/c i am a total retard good job

 

You can buy an a tranny temp gauge. Basically is hooks up by you dilling a hole where the tranny flud is, screw in a temp sensor and the sensor tells the gauge what to read. You can mount it whereever suits you. If you don't already have an aftermaket transmission cooler, don't waste money with a gauge, get the cooler first.

 

just get a Autometer gauge pod for the A-pillar to mount it...something like an early 90's model accord will fit right...don't make them for 3rd gens....

 

Or perhaps modify a digital readout to register the tranny temp and use the coin tray as a mount point.

 

ahhhhhh the coin tray....hehehe...but once again i'm 2 stoopid 4 that research here i come....

 

Hey thats what i was thinking.. btw i'm getting some unit that has a voltage monitor and temperature readout on a digital display with green LED backlight.. Only 25 bucks too!! Hopefully it will fit in my coin tray opening..
