trans temp gauge ???
Installing a electric trans temp gauge and if there was a good way to install the sender or get a recommendation for a sender that will go inline with the trans lines going to the cooler up front or if im going to be best off pulling the pan and having a bung welded on to to the pan to put a temp sender in that way

IMO I would want to know the temp at the hottest point so that if there was an issue, I would see it right away. I know in most cases people we as close to the trans as possible some units can be tapped for a fitting or off the pan.
But I'll let the experts speak to that.
Some pics I found....
