Idk about oil, but transmission is easy.

The red circle shows your shift linkage. The yellow circle shows about where the test port is at. Take the little bolt out and thread in your sending unit. Done.

They're all Auto-meter gauges. I will be switching out the boost gauge to digital soon.
The gauge below the A/F is an EGT gauge. The two most important gauges I have and so I put them at eye level.

Thanks for the compliments. Here are some readings during an extended cruise at 65mph 53 degrees outside. Boost, A/F, EGT, Trans all AutoMeter Ultra-lite series.

I just bought a pillar pod like yours, but it has two mounts instead of three. I'll have to paint it tan. I'm also thinking of getting the dual pod that fits inside the upper dash pocket where the aux input is at.

That's what I have, though painted black Trans temp (with memory) and water temp. Also have a Roush Ventpod that's waiting for a Voltmeter.
I'm thinking about the Saleen pod for the dash...but not sure on what gauges to get lol

My a-pillar pod will replace my grab handle. I'll see how it looks because I like having the handle. The dash mount I'm looking at is made by Lotek engineering.

Sorry to bump an old thread, does the tans temp meter come with everything needed to thread into the trans? Also, where are you putting the EGT sender?

Thinking for the future, I'd like to get a whipple.
