Theres some pics of the T setup I made in this thread, but after talking to some people they said the most accurate reading is if the sensor is in the pan so now I am thinking of putting it in the pan.

Just remove the 1/8" NPT plug located on the driver's side of the trans. It is easily removed and is used as a test port for pressure, this is where I tapped into for my Trans Temp Gauge.

I used the pressure line to the cooler for one reason, I really was interested in knowing what the fluid temp was before it got to the cooler. The sensor in the pan is a good setup and will read well, but I guess the bottom line is.....anyplace is better than nothing. I relied on the reading as just an "indicator" anyway...sort of a relative temp comparison, once I knew where it normally ran, I knew when the fluid was getting too hot......or too cold.

What should the normal temp be while in stop and go traffic?

Dave, at Rock-on Transmission, told me to put the temperature sensor in the cooler line coming out of the convertor, b/c that is where the hottest fluid would be. He said you cut about and 1" or 1.5" out of the line and you put a "T" in and obviously the part of the T sticking out would be tapped for an 1/8" npt sensor.
