well Hartman is going to tell u to mount it in the line going out of the trans to the cooler..but the easiest is in the pan.
Actually, here is his exact quote:
You want to put it on the out line of the tranny. This will give you dynamic and an accurate information on how your tranny is working and if you are doing harm to the tranny and the fluid. If you put it in the pan and your tranny is cooking the fluid but you have a really nice cooling setup, the pan sender will see a useless low luke warm temperature that will lull you into a false since of you not having to rebuild it soon after as it blindly self-destructs inches from your stupid self :smile:
A pan sender basically tells you if your cooling system is working up to par, but if you put a good cooler in and a deep pan, that should do it. If not, you trans is creating way too much heat which you would of already identified before you just caramelized and carbonized your clutch and varnished all your valves with burnt ATF.
Hope that helps,
