Here is the writeup i used when i did my tranny temp gauge install. There is an area on the driver's side of the transmission where you can put the sender.

Not sure about the oil, but the tranny temp goes into the drain plug in the tranny. I'd assume you can put the oil one into the drain plug too. Thats what I would do.

I removed the oil level sensor and used that port in the pan for engine oil temps.
