I would first check the wire to the sender unit on the front of the motor on the right side. I does get knocked off when you work in that area. I know the dipstick for the auto trans is on the left but maybe somehow you knocked it off besides it is pretty easy to check before tearing apart the dash.

To describe it best, the needle is in the 5 o'clock position. The needle jumps a bit when I turn the key from Off to On, but doesn't move as the car is running. This happened today after I did a few little jobs to the car. > > Here's the last few things I did to the car, maybe someone will see my mistake- 1) I removed the carpet that was blocking my driver-side floor vent and tucked it underneath the vent 2) I just fixed my speedometer, which consisted of replacing the wheel cap and oiling the cable 3) I checked my fluids (automatic transmission). > > I have a feeling I've jerked something loose under the dashboard trying to rearrange the carpet, but I wouldn't know where to begin.
