trans temp gauge?
ok so i have seen install directions for the auto transmissions but NONE for the manuals.
i've done about 5 searches. but i guess i just must still be "search illiterate" like i've been told before.
i am going to install a transmission temperature gauge and cannot find the best of instructions. i've heard that autometers instructions suck and would like to be well prepared for my task at hand.
i also got a oil temp gauge so if anyone has any points or hints at installing that i'd be most appreciative!
remember i have a t-5 transmission...not a t-56 like most of you guys...i'm not 100% sure the complete difference but any pointers would be great!
thanks!

the best set up I ve seen is to install the thermo wire/ probe in the drain plug. It will take drilling and silver-soldering the plug but it will get the data you want. BTW its the same advice for a T56.
