how do you check oil pressure on a rotary

just wondering how you go about doing this.

The car in question also has another issue and that is 1-3 gear at 3000 RPM the whole car starts to vibrate and in 4-5 at 4500 to like 6000 it starts to kinda buck and chug. any suggestions?

Remove the oil sending unit and screw in a mechanical gauge.

Does the pressure gauge in your cluster not work?
