gague question
I have an oil temp gague, need to know the temp of trans fluid and am about to hook it up but I just realized i cant find a hole from the engine to the interior
where do you guys make the wires pass trough, looks isnt my main concern
is drilling my only option?
Thanks

There are a few passageways for things to go through the firewall. If they aren't close enough to where you want to wire things, drilling a hole only take a little bit of time.

sorry guys gauge
Anyway I finished at about 10:30 and it works great now, for some reason it takes forever to stop the trans fluid from leaking prolly just my car.
it was an APC oil temp gauge, the reason for the tranny fluid is because I got the car with the trans fluid black, I dont know why I guess the trans overheated and burned, but I am planning on installing a turbo this summer and I want to be safe with all aspecs of the car specially the trans because it is an auto
I got power from a fuse, my ABS slot wraped the wire around the righ end and just put in.
I drilled where there was a hole in the under body about right before the place to put your left foot, deadplate I think, I put the actual gauge right above the key slot.
