Where exactly and how do you check for line pressure on the tranny?and what tools will I need to complete the test and how is it done? if it is low line pressure how do I raise it? tia
Qustion#1)
Your line pressure port is on the drivers side, just above the shifter. It has an 1/8th inch pipe plug in it. You ck line pressure there.
Now we have a regiment and test procedure that will come with the gauge if and when purchased. After testing and recording, if you call me with your results, I will gladly give you the time and discuss what it is you may have going on.
Ok question #2)
Here is the gauge set up you need. It comes as a kit with all fittings and a cap to leave the pressure port in there for easy hook up later. Also, these gauges are no screw around deal. They can be used for Fuel, amongst other things, so it is a dual purpose gauge assembly. In stock and ready to go. Ask anybody that has bought one from us on the quality and accuracy.

Question #3)
After we do determine you have an issue, then we can address increasing the line pressure if it is needed.
Notice I am up posting this at 3:00 am PST.
Just couldn't sleep.
In fact, going into shop right now to do some machining while it is cool . Man it has been hot here.
Well good luck and Not to pitch you or anything of the sort, But to have this gauge around is a good idea. You will use it more than you think. Plus, all your buddies will want to use it too..

just ask this guy. We started with the gauge to determine his problem and now he is a happy camper. Go ahead, ask him. Link:
