Default Gauge install for Trans Temp

I am not sure if I am in the right spot...

I am planning a TC install and need to install a Trans Temp guage and need help indeciding the appropriate guage and installation help.

I am looking to purchase at: http://www.tbyrnemotorsports.com/ls1catalog.html

I am planning on using the middle of the 3 vents in the center of my dash for the guage and do not want a guage pillar. I need to know what size would go into the vent and if there is a site that gives installation instructions.

Any help would be great. It sounds like the guage comes with the cable and attachment to the tranny to start using immediately but I am a complete Noob when it comes to this.

The site I was at only had the 2 1/6 for my car. Where did you get your guage?

I was hoping to find one that had an all black case and face with a red light.

I will send a PM with my e-mail.

Get your gauges at Summit or Jegs. I think there are a little cheaper and they have more of a variety.

The Autometer Z series gauges are all black, black face, with an optional green and red light cover. I think that's what you're looking for. I was thinking about gettin the same ones to keep with the red light theme in the car.
