Why Transmission Temperature Matters
Your transmission depends on fluid to:
- Lubricate internal components
- Transfer power efficiently
- Keep everything cool
Too hot:
- Fluid breakdown
- Slipping gears
- Premature transmission failure
Too cold:
- Poor fluid performance
- Reduced efficiency
This gauge lets you monitor temps and prevent costly damage.
Easy to read silver dials and high contrast orange pointers combined with probably the most diverse gauge offering make this light weight race proven gauge a competition favorite..

Key Features & Functions
Mechanical Temperature Monitoring
This gauge uses a direct mechanical temperature probe, providing:
- Instant, real-time readings
- No electrical delay
- Highly accurate temperature tracking
Because transmission temps can spike fast under load.
Designed for Transmission Fluid Temps
Built specifically to monitor:
- Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature
- Heat buildup during towing or racing
- Thermal performance under load
Not just a generic temp gauge—this is purpose-built.
Auto Meter’s race proven mechanical instruments provide depended on accuracy at the same time as being easy to put in
No electrical system required for gauge operation – compatible with each and every street or race vehicle
2-1/16″ Standard Gauge Size
The 2-1/16 inch diameter ensures:
- Easy installation in pods or panels
- Compatibility with most setups
- Clean integration into your dash
Standard size, zero drama.
Ultra-Lite Series Styling
Classic performance look:
- Silver/aluminum-style dial
- High-contrast markings
- Clean, race-inspired appearance
Simple, functional, and easy to read.
Mechanical movements provide accuracy and sturdiness even within the harshest environments
Gauge kit includes 1/2″ NPT adapter, bulb and socket assembly, red and green bulb covers, mounting hardware, and detailed instructions for installation
Fast Response Needle Movement
Mechanical operation delivers:
- Immediate reaction to temperature changes
- Smooth, consistent readings
- Reliable feedback under load
Because transmission temps don’t rise slowly when you’re pushing it.
