    pressure test

    According to the astg guide you can only run a pressure test for 2 mins... according to sonnax you have to go for a test drive... Has anybody actually drove with a gauge on the test port?

    You can drive it as long as you want. Plugging a manometer doesn't affect anything.

    Yes, a manometer is a pressure gauge.

    You can use a pressure gauge as long as you want. It doesn't interfere with the normal operation of the transmission (or any machine). All hydraulic systems have permanent pressure gauges.

    As long as it doesn't leak, you can leave it there forever. Don't worry
