trans temp gauge

I have a 1992 f350 7.3 idi with an auto trans and would like to put a trans gauge on. Where does the sending unit hook up on the trans?

It needs to go in the trans pan. You can put it in place of the drain plug.

it needs to measure the temp of the fluid exiting the trans to the cooler ,mounting it in the pan or the case only measures the temp after it has been cooled ,the torque converter generates the heat in an automatic
