Hello,

I just bought my first 02 Mustang GT. Its Black w/Black leather and a 5sp.
It has 9k miles on it. The guy who owned it before me put 4:10 gears in it, so it tachs really fast! I just bought a Autogauge tach with shift light and mounted it to the drivers side pillar plastic. Has anyone wired these up?? I dont know where the ignition wire is or the Electronic ignition box where I plug it in.

Thanks,
Fast02

You will need a Tach Adapter like this:

Welcome to Mustang ownership and StangNet, we hope your stay is enjoyable.

Thanks for the reply and welcoming me to the site MCM!

Is it possible to hook up the tach without the adapter? Maybe I should do a search on installing an aftermarket tach, as im sure this subject has been covered a hundred times.

See, now if you only had an auto.

J/K. I wish I'd gotten a stick sometimes. I'd probably never leave my car. Sure would be nice to have all that control over each gear. The stock auto tranny leave some to be desired. After a predator torque tune it's not that bad though.

man I knew it

As soon as I hit the send key I new the automatic deal would pop up. There is merit to both of the trannies. I just like driving a car and I think that a manual tranny makes you drive. It is a pain when you are trying to eat, drink or talk on the phone, probably not safe, but oh well

Talking on the phone while shifting sucks, it sucks more than anything has ever sucked before. ..........Okay sorry for the bevis and butthead knockoff but it really does suck, why not rent a car? You only need one foot for an auto

I did find one for $50 but my friends here said "you get what you pay for..." So I bought the Autometer for $79 + Handling. I will take pictures...
