Transmission Temp Sensor

I'm planning on installing a autometer trans temp guage. I've read all the post here and everyone says to mount the sensor probe on the driver side of the transmission housing. I wonder if that 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?

I would like to know what others have done. Thanks for your time and thoughts.

You could install a spin on filter with a temp port also in that line going to the cooler.
I have a manual trans with temp guage in the pto plate.
