triple guage pillar. 9 pics of install process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
first my car is a 2002 trans am ws6. i bought my tiplar gauge pillar from auto meter. it was $36. i bought my gauges from auto meter also. they are the phantom series gauges. air/fuel ratio, trans temp, and a boost gauge. i do not have my turbo yet, but i am getting one in the future so i thought i would go ahead and buy the gauge. the guages were $200.
we did the entire install in one afternoon. with a slight rain delay. i thought i would take pics in case anybody was curious about the whole process. and maybe i will save somebody some time and effort.
first i have to thank my freind Aaron. he did 99% of the work. i suck with electronics.
the first pic. is of the pillar and the guages.
this pic shows how the triple pillar fits OVER the stock pillar. its a common miss conception that these pillars are direct replacements for the stock pillar. you WILL need yur stock pillar for the new guages. especially if it is a t-top car.
next we took apart all interior pieces in order to run our wires. we drilled a hole through the center console, placed a rubber gromet in the hole so the wires dont rub, and then ran our 2 wires through he hole. one wire for the o2 sensor, and one for the transmission temp. sensor(which we installed in the transmission pan).
here is a pic of us testing our transmission sensor.
this is a pic of the quick disconnect system we installed in case i ever decide to change gauges or need to take them out for some reason.
all in all it was a relatively simple install. and here is a picture of the before and after of what the car looks like with the guages.
well once again i have to thank Aaron for his help. i hope this thread will help somebody.

the comment about if the trans temp will work with the t56...dont need trans temp with an manual it wont get hot at all.
did yours come with the little "rivits" how are you holding it in to the stock pillar. in the one pic it looks like you got some GAP
