Seriously, can I install a Transmission Temp gauge on my 06 6-spd tranny? Need some help here guys.

 

To each his own but why would you want to install a temp guage on your 6 sp? To answer your question, yes I am sure you could but I wouldnt know where.

 

I know it is not common, but the trans temp gauge saves me about 140 bucks verses the electric fuel pressure gauge. I think it would be nice to moniter it while towing big loads.

 

The big issue with Autos is that if the fluid gets to hot you'll burn up the clutchs, seals, this and that. With a manual all you have are gears, so even if the fluid gets really hot, you won't burn anything up (seals would be it) There's also not much you can do as I don't think you have a fluid pump on a manual so if the temps get high, you won't be able to use a cooler anyway? That's my view on the differential temp gauges too. I mean there's not much you can do if the temp gets too high? I dont' worry, synthetics are good.

 

So its basivally cosmetic? If you plan on modding at all go with the fp guage, youll be happier in the long run. I thought I needed boost and pyro the most but now that I have all three I watch boost the least and pyro and fp the most and probably the fp a little more than the pyro.
