Anyone installed an Autometer electrical Tranny Temp or Oil Temp gauge?
How difficult/complex are the installs for these particular gauges?
Which one is more complex?
As long as the install can be done without great difficulty, I'll get them. Just trying to find out what it requires...

Thanks for any info in advance!

I have tranny temp gauge.
you can either tap the sender to your tranny pan or use a tee and cut your tranny hose. You have to ground the sender if you decided to use a tee. I have some pictures at my site and it is not too difficult.

not sure about the oil temp gauge...never install one.

i am going to be installing both of these shortly. i will let you know


and [maxi-overdose] is correct about the tranny gauge

I was thinking about installing both of these. My concern is if they are mechanical or electrical gauges. If electrical, and the cost is reasonable, I'll do it. If mechanical (fluid line coming in to the passenger compartment), I won't do it because I don't like the idea of fluids being in my passenger compartment (probably an unfounded concern, but I just don't like it). Exactly which ones are you guys getting that will match with the overall "theme" of a Maxima? Are there white faced ones that will match my stock SE's gauges?

Autometer Phantom Series gauges are what you want. They are white faced, back-lit and either mechanical or electrical. I dont want mechanical gauges either. Most of their gauges are in the $50-$70 range, some are way more.
A great site to see all the gauges Autometer offers is www.egauges.com

Thanks for the info. And Redmaxpa007, thanks for the pics. That is exactly what I was looking for. Great looking gauge pod. I'd need to find one for my beige interior, or some paint that'll match. I'm also looking for a vacuum gauge like my buddy had on his '82 Z28. It was somehow "calibrated" or "scaled" to show his real time gas mileage. Really cool, handy, and it seemed accurate. I'll have to look him up to get more info on it.

I used to have my trans temp hooked up to the return line using a temp manifold but now i cant do that anymore cause my car is stick. Where should i tap the tranny if it is stick?
