trans temp gauge question

i'm going to put some additional gauges in my truck and i have a question that the local parts store "manager" wasn't able to answer. i'd like to get 3 new gauges all the same look but they don't have an actual transmission temp gauge. they do have a regular oil temp gauge and i'm wondering if i could use that? i don't know if there is a problem with the gauge reading correctly or reading at all since transmission fluid is different from oil. any suggestions on what i could use that would work would be great. keep in mind i'd like to have 3 of the same style/look so just buying an individual trans temp gauge probably won't cut it unless they have a volt and oil pressure gauge the same as well.

thanks in advance
patrick

Trans Temp

My Trans Cooler Came With An Oil Temp Gauge And I Replaced It With An Auto Meter Gauge That Actually Says "trans Temp".
Auto Meter Wil Have Matching Gauges For The Other Applications.

thanks,
i hadn't really looked at autometer just because the prices seemed a bit steep, but i guess you get what you pay for and if i do this i should do it right. i'm off to check out the autometer stuff. thanks again.

Autometer is what I plan to use, so far summit has the best prices, but nope they are not cheap.. but do look good, and include the sender. Oil PSI, volts, and trans temp are what I am going to put in.

Found this for the tranny sender on dakota digital..
