You will need a "T" adapter for the oil prssure sensor,it's right above the oil filter,since the PCM needs the electronic oil pressure sensor to function right.The trans temp you will need to drop the tranny pan and drill a hole in the tranny pan for the temp sensor.

No write up,sorry.

Is the oil pressure gauge electric or mechanical(wires or plastic tube)? If it is electric it's to easy,just take out the OEM oil pressure sensor and use it to get a "T" fitting and put the "T" fitting in then put both sensors in and run the wires to the gauge.If it's a mechanical gauge that comes with a plastic tube,1st throw the plastic tube away and go to any parts stores and get the copper tube instead.Carefully route it into the cabin and to the gauge.

The tranny temp sensor is to easy,just drop the pan,might as well change the filter/filters while you have it dropped.Drill a hole on the side of the pan per the instructions,make sure it will not be in the way of anything and not exposed to being ripped off while offroad.Use RTV to help seal it in and put pan back on.

I have a similar set up trans temp and volt meter. I didn't drop the pan yet and tap it for the sender. I have the sender tee'd into the hot line coming out of the trans. I plan on putting it in the pan in the future though.
