Transmission pressure gauge

does anyone have a transmission pressure gauge? I was looking for one and couldn't find one to match my autometer gauges.
Mr. Dave Goerend said it would benefit me since I do a lot of offroading, and drag racers too. he said it will tell you if you bust or rip a hose off, and also tell you if your TV cable is operating. 0-200 psi is all I need. should I just get a 0-200 fuel pressure gauge?
if I remember right he said to hook it into I think the middle port on the passenger side of the 3 that are close together.

0-200psi should be fine, I have one for my fuel pump case pressure. I don't know what style autometer's you have, but summit has a decent selection, I think they have around 9 different styles in the 0-200 psi gauges.

And yes the center one of the 3 is the one you want to tap into, that is the accumulator pressure port.

I cant wait to get my setup installed, I am still waiting on the guages. I ordered a triple pod and I am going to display line pressure, governor and front servo pres. I found the gauges at eguages they are VDO brand and arent to cool looking but will be ok for me. The problem is they only come in a 0-400psi with 10-180ohm senders. but at least the guages will say Trans Psi.

I bought a cheap gauge at my local hydralic shop. They also made me a 10ft hose with 1/8npt and 1/4 npt fittings on it (gauge side). I'm planning on check the pressures at transmission oil service intervals. I think that I paid $30 for the hose and gauge.
