Diagnostic Pressure Gage Hookup - 2004r

Could someone explain where and how to setup a pressure gage for my test readings? I would like to do this as a baseline for future reference.
Thanks

paul

Get a 0-300 psi pressure gauge with a long hose and a 1/8 NPT male fitting on the end. Hook it up to the port over the shifter lever.

Jack up the car so that the rear wheels can turn. Check the pressure in each shifter range at minimum TV pressure and maximum TV pressure by manually pulling the TV cable to full travel while keeping engine around 1000 rpm.

Greg, what should the respective line pressures be on a well built performance 200 4 R ?
