I installed one on my 1989 Pace Arrow P30 chassis. I removed tranny pan to check clearance inside. Drilled hole while pan was off. Welder welded nut to pan. Screwed gauge into nut using permatex sealer. Worked great. While I had pan off drilled 2nd hole and 2nd nut welded to use as a drain. I could then drop an empty pan. You must drop pan to check clearance because it is pretty crowded inside tranny.
That looks like a good solution, I may try that when I change fluid, Did you use synthetic transmission fluid? Did you ever have a problem with the tranny overheating? Maybe I'm being paranoid, My last MH was a pusher with an Allison transmission so I let the computer worry about it
By the way, I went to high school in Byron, you're probably on the other side of the Big Horns from there.
Thanks for the help

In Powell. Back in 89 wasn't a lot of synthetic oil or tranny fluid on the market except Mobil 1. My tranny did over heat on long up grades. I first noticed brownish color of tranny fluid so installed temp gauge. After that I could just pull over when tranny fluid got hot.
