I have a d1.7 civic 5spd and I have an Autometer Electrical Trans temp gauge that I want to install. I cannot for the life of me. Can anyone help me out?

I need a location to put the sending unit. Wasn't sure if there was a bolt that I could use, or if I should use a fill plug location. I have done some research but I can't find anything, maybe I'm just a moron. But thanks for the help.

well usually the sender will not fit the drain plug hole. most people install it in one of the cooler lines going to the radiator. one is the hot side and one is cold side. i recommend the hot side because thats the fluid fresh out of the trans.

what issues are you having that you NEED to monitor the tranny temp?

Its sitting around and I would rather just install it. Was going to put it on ebay, but the last ones I've seen on there didn't sell for much so I figured I would give a try. If I can't I'll put it back on the shelf.

the hassle probably isn't worth what the gauge is worth IMO

yeah, you dont need one for manuals, temp is pretty critical for autos, not manuals. sell it on ebay.
