Default Best place/person to install a transmission temp gauge sending unit?

I recently aquired some gauges and one of them happens to be a tranny temp gauge. Its an auto meter gauge that comes with the sending unit that has to be tapped into the transmission fluid pan. Since I don't want to do this at my house, who/where in the houston area can do this for cheap? If theres an easier way of doing this please let me know. Thanks

Yupe, but make sure you tap into the outlet line and not the return line from the cooler or you won't read what the tranny temp actually is.

I can vouch for Jason, he did a great job on my MAF adapter!

Plus, hes willing to do it for free!

Just look at it as a chance to change your tranny fluid and get some fresh stuff in there

Haven't started school yet, but the new apartment is awesome! A few small bugs to work out with the car, but every project is like that I suppose. I'll hollar at you next time I'm in town!

Chris shut up and get your car running you slow pansy
As for what I'm going to do, I think I'll go find my self a tranny fluid pan and have Jason do the work on it then probably take it to HPE and have them install it and flush the tranny.
