Do 7th gen civic have a connection for a digital tranny temp guage? or do i need to buy a mechanical guage instead....

Either way you're gonna have to tap a fitting in there. You can use an electronic one. Just get an oil temp gauge, but its not like there's a hole just sitting there waiting for you to stick a sensor plug in it.

Uhm why not just drive normal....Even if you have a temp guage it'll do nothing for protection....Your better off getting a tranny cooler then a guage....Or like I said drive normal.

love how people just are like, in similie, "why don't you like vanilla? are you retarded? everyone else like vanilla. why do you like strawberry? just get used to vanilla and forget strawberry. strawberry is stupid."

i'm smackin this throttle 100% all the time. got a tsx front end waiting to go in. steppin on a motor/tranny you know you're gonna replace is one of the most fun things to do in life. even with my race bikes i'm aware of how i'm abusing the components, but with a stock gokart (aka Civic) i'm slidin around every turn possible waiting for **** to fall off

jokes aside, a tranny temp guage has saved my *** previously in two cars, which were both bigger displacement motors, but i woulda ended up blowin seals and maybe stickin gears together if i hadn't know my tranny needed to cool down for a bit before more full thottling on I5 during the a few trips to SoCal. at about 110 for an hour and a half straight you'll probably need some additonal cooling for that small-bearing civic tranny

tapping into the coolant line sounds like a workaround... i'll check it out
