AutoMeter Temp guage on a 6spd??? Has anyone used a AutoMeter Temp Guage on a 6spd trans? Or is it feasible to do on a manual trans. PLEASE let me know.
Thanks, have great weekend and God Bless Our Troops and the U.S.,

I did it. It works fine but temperature on a M6 isn't really something to worry about. It doesn't really change much. When I had mine I had to drive the car for at least 20 minutes before the gauge even got over 100 degrees. The highest it even got was 170 degrees on a two-hour trip. I would look into a different gauge, something more useful.

Ferocity02, Where did you mount the sensor. I was just trying to cover all the misc. areas. I just bought the AF and the GP and was wondering about the Manual Trans. Thanks again for the info.

DONAIMIAN, I never thought about a oil temp guage because I have the factory oil pressure guage. I also thought about just a Stewart Warner pod mounted shift light. My new guages are AutoMeter C2 and don't know if they make the same shift light. Thanks for the insite.

Go here http://www.xse.com/leres/ss/gaugepod.html for good istall info. As mentioned a manual usually does get very hot unless maybe road racing. My gauge temp usually shows about 150 after driving awhile.
