Transmission temp gauge - Allison 1000
Just added a trans temp gauge to my 8.1 Workhorse/Allison. Gauge is from Glowshift, and has a choice of 7 different backlight colors; my Workhorse uses red backlighting, so I can match it with this gauge.
I had an area on the left side of the instrument panel that houses the Overdrive switch, so I trimmed the backplate and moved the switch over, giving room for the gauge. I used the "angled" bezel, so that the gauge "points" at the driver. Installation came out very nice; I'm still waiting on the transducer mount (Allison 1000 trans doesn't have a port; must add the sending unit to the trans line).
