Trans probe location

Hi, Where is the best place to mount the auto trans probe? Also, in you guys opinion, what is the best trans fluid to use. What brand, dino or syn? I'm fairly new here but at times feel pretty stupid when I read the abreviations in the posts. Is there a glossory? Thanks, Glenn 96 PSD

On the driver side of the transmission above the shift linkage there is a plug that you can remove and put your temp prob in its place. That is where I put mine.

I missed the oldbird1965 post and just posted a similar question on location.

I wonder if driver side of the transmission housing is the best location?

I would think the fluid leaving the transmission, going to the cooler, would be the hottest (worst case) temperature. I wonder if anyone has installed a tee fitting or manifold in this line running to the cooler?

Maybe the trans housing location gives the same reading?
