Trans fluid pressure gauge- how's this one?

Hey guys, how's this for a trans fluid pressure gauge? Think it'll have what I need to hook up to my 700r4?

Also, when I tap into the case to check pressure, do I have to put sealant back on the plugs when I take the gauge off?

Oh- one more Question- I don't think I'd ever use this set to check engine oil pressure- but say that I did. Would I have to somehow flush that hose out before going between trans fluid to engine oil and back to trans fluid? Or would draining the hose be enough?

0-300 PSI Pressure Gauge/w 7 foot hose

About $20 dollars more, but with a little more

Who makes it? It's probably just $20 more because it includes a temp gauge and some kind of filter, which I don't need.

I won't be permanently mounting this; this is just for diagnostics only...

I have this kit at my house, and its not made to be installed forever, its just for doing the pressures test while you are driving the car.

The temp gauge if you dont already have one is a very good thing to have. The filter is more of a thing if you just got it rebuilt, extra protection.

If you dont need those things then just get that kit you linked, it looks pretty well put together
