What Three Gauges?
What Three Gauges? Hey,
I am getting a new rebuilt trans so I want to have a trans temp gauge, and I really like the looks of the Pillar Triple Gauge Pods, but I need two more gauges to fill the pod, which do you think I should do... AFR maybe?

Guys with the tranny temp gauge. Did you get a mechanical or electrical one? I just bought a mechanical one but not sure if I want tranny fluid running thru the interior of my car thru the gauge lines.

NO tranny fluid will be going threw your car. It is a hardline TEMPERATURE gauge, NOT pressure. The only fluid is on the sender (which just checks temp.) that you screw into the pan. It has a hardline metal feed back to the gauge.
Personally, I'd go electrical just because of ease of installation and mounting (used mechanical tranny temp on my 1994 and you can forget about pillar mounting, I had to go center console because of length, maybe they've changed though)...
98's don't have a piece that is bolted on that you thread for the sender of ANY unit... I think that is what is being referred to, otherwise maybe they tap into an electrical signal that won't work on 98's, I don't know.

I thought it was because the '98 was the only correct year that showed the correct oil pressure whereas 99+ had the oil pressure gauge that tricked it into reading a false reading if below a certain mark
