Here is the link to the directions for the Tranny Temp Guage install...
http://www.grandamgt.com/transtemp-pfyc.html
Tools Needed:
2 Crimp Connectors (for gauge lights)
4 ring terminals
Wire cutter/crimper
11mm socket
11mm deepwell socket
Pliers
You will need to decide the location to mount the gauge, but an A-pillar gauge mount is available as a professional location to mount two gauges. PartsForYourCar.com will have a 2 gauge pod available early this summer to mount your gauges.
Begin by locating the line pressure tap plug located on the right front section of the transmission. The easiest way to get access to this plug is to safely jack up the front end of your car or drive your car up on a set of ramps. Then remove the plastic shroud exposing the test port. Using a ratchet (you may need a "wobble" socket too), remove the tap plug and set aside. Make sure you have a shop towel or small bucket under the test port plug because some tranny fluid will come out. When I removed my test port plug less than a shot glass of tranny fluid came out. **This is also a good time to inspect the quality of your tranny fluid (based on color & smell).
(line pressure test plug)
Install the provided sending unit into the threaded port as shown below (be sure to use TEFLON thread tape). The small copper-colored sender with the blue wire is what we're looking at here:
Install the signal wire and route it securely away from the transmission. Next, run the signal wire into the passenger cabin. There is a wire harness that runs through the firewall just to the left of the steering column that is a good location for this wire.
Run the wire to the signal input of the transmission temperature gauge inside the cabin and supply a switched power source for the backlight.
All that's left to do is to ground the gauge and the gauge lamp
