cool, thanx guys i plan on installing it later today just wanted to know whats involved. Sounds pretty easy as far as ground and power i was just going to tap into the radios ignition power wire and ground it on the frame as far as the light goes i was going to tap into the light for the gear selection so i can have the dim feature.

Hey guys I got the gauge in and it works great just wondering what temp is normal for these transmissions. I have a 3200 stall and a cooler. I started the car and let it run for 10 min and the gauge was reading like 210 when i shut it off. I also check it with the tech 2 and it said that the fluid was 89 Celsius. So does this mean the gauge is inaccurate?

89*C is 192*F Depending upon where you installed the sensor could make up most of that difference (192-210).
I got a question for some of the other guys if there is a similar place (above linkage) on the th-400?
