    Michigan 2000 TJ 166,494.0 mi. Sahara Hardtop White W/tan top green-tan interior. $8,900.00 I bought this in spring of 2019 while I was in Phoenix, AZ.

    Look at the bright side because you used Auto Zone parts You'll be doing it again soon. So you should get R done in half the time.

    Autometer 8457 - factory looking transmission temp gauge

    Old racing tip I've used on many applications. Turn the gauge so the needle is in the up 12 o'clock position. When everything is running normal doing that you'll know at a glance things are OK without needing to read.
