I used a mechanical tranny temp gauge and installed it in the pan. I'm guessing this location is a true indication of fluid temps. I would also guess, if it's installed in the cooler out line, it would be the best indication of fluid temps. This would probably be the highest temps the fluid would see.

But, with this mechanical gauge, I see no way of putting it in the line, or any place else for that matter. The bulb (sensor) on the end of the tube is big, about 2" long. No other way I could see but to put it in the pan.

Works for me anyway.
