My OIl Pressure gauge moves up when i press on the clutch all the way, and my temp gauge goes down when i hit the clutch all the way. Aftermarket ones. And my temp reads really high like at 250, and my stock is in the middle. and when i hit the clucth it usually goes down to 210, were i think it really is. what the hell is wrong? Is my car overheating or not? Is there another way to get the reading of the temp????

If they more like that then the temp is more than likely fine, just the connections are screwed up. I would check all the connections on the back and on the senders. And see if any wires are hanging under the clutch petal and getting pinched.

ok, is there any thing connected to the clutch like a negative or positve that tells the computer something?

The switch that tells the ignition that the pedal is down, that all I can think of. But if wires are getting pinched, then they are prolly grounding, and that why they are moving.

No, grounds are what makes the needle move. The more they get grounded, the more the needle moves. The (+) is constant, but the ground changes with the signal, and that is what makes the needle move.

I think. Im pretty sure actually.

Electronics are confusing. Its not something someone can teach someone else over the internet in a single post.
