    There’s no room under there,

    If you found a gauge pod that you could attach to it that might work but that’s a hard angle to find probably.

    Or you could mount it on the steering colum or cigarette lighter section or clock location

    Depending on how deep your gauge is and if the transmission is right there or not.

    That would look good if you could tho
