Hello everyone 
First off let me say im new to these forums as i recently purchased a 2003 P5 ES from a guy i work with. The car was in a front end collision and needed a LOT of work, but after several thousand dollars i have got my p5 up and running with as many new parts as i could afford. Now i have the semi manual tranny and am looking to install some after market gauges. I have ordered my A frame pillar pod from glowshift and the first gauge im looking at installing is a tranny temp gauge from glowshift.
I have installed the gauge on my 01 ram before, and it was a pretty simple plug and play right into the tranny test port. So with my pillar pod on the way and the gauge being purchased probably next week i decided to go jack up my p5 and locate the transmission test port. Now this being my first Mazda, but not my first import build i figured id be able to locate the test port no problem. I was wrong. I also know that some transmissionsdo not have a test port, so my question is, 1 is there a test port i can tap into? and 2 where on the tranny pan is it located?
If any of you have installed a tranny temp gauge any help would be greatly appreciated. If you could maybe post a pic of the bolt i need to remove if there is a port, and if not how did you guys install yours? Thanks in advance
