Oil Temp / Trans Temp Gauges

So I'm thinking about installing some gauges. I know that the DIC displays oil temp but i don't like clicking through it to check eveythign all the time. The DIC also doesn't display trans temp for some reason. I know that my MN12 has the sensor there, and it displays temp when it's overheating...but you can't view it normally.

Is it possible to wire the gauges in to use the existing oil temp and trans temp sensors? anybody done this before? Can it be done?

Any input would be appreciated!

You have an 03-Z06, and the DIC does not display trans-fluid temp? That's odd, right? Loose wire from the tranny?

I'm pretty sure that no manual C5 will display trans temp. Unless I'm an idiot and have clicked right by it every time I go through the DIC (which is quite possible!).
