I'm sure a local parts store can get a temp sender if not in stock. I'm not sure what the oil temp sender size is but the transmission one should be something like this one (1/8 npt): Auto Meter 2258 Sending Unit Temp - eBay (item 300512691768 end time Feb-06-11 14:55:39 PST)
The 2258 is the standard supplied with most temp gauges, but it has a longer probe.
The 2259 is a shorter version, that will not impede the flow as much. I know where I installed my cooler probe, I needed the 2259 to keep it from blocking flow in the filter head.
Both will read the same and are interchangeable per Autometer.

I repped him for us. 
I have been thinking of the rotary switch. Right now I can toggle my trans and rear diff using the simple two position switch. I could add two positions in a rotary for engine oil and transfer case I guess.

I bought one when I was doing mine, but just couldn't get it to fit in the pod, so I went the other route. I was thinking about doing the Diff's and T-Case as well as pre-cooler temps. The senders are cheap so not a big deal to install them.
Take a look at this one 56D36-01-1-AJN nothing special but offers 10 positions, Digi-Key sells it for around $12.

As long as they use a single "sense" wire it will work.
