The proper location is in the test port. It is on the driver's side, just above the pan, towards the front of the trans. It has a black hex head plug from the factory.

The deep pan is purely for good looks. It does not help cooling at all. If he likes the way it looks it has done it's job.

Before making any changes what trans temperatures is he seeing?
