Trans temp sensor

Where is everyone putting their Trans temp sensor? I was looking at getting the ISSPRO guages and it shows a location up above the pan. Is it better to drill the pan, or is that too much hastle?

There's a port above the pan, best place to put the probe, simple install. Don't mess up your pan Kyle..Here's a pic http://www.dieselmanor.com/diy/PSD3-gauge/image15.htm and installed http://www.dieselmanor.com/diy/PSD3-gauge/image16.htm

I just went into one of the test ports on the drivers side above the pan. Truly the best spot is in the hot line that goes to the cooler. The test port is going to be a little colder but if you know to shut it down at about 210-220 the cooler line is going to be a little over 220. Is a lot easier to just take out a test port and tap into that.

Mine is also in the test port on the side of the trans (see the photos Layson posted). If I were you Kyle, I'd make a couple laps around the sender with some Teflon tape before you put it in. I didn't and ended up with a slow leak, so I had to pull the sender and tape it up. Isspro uses a 2 wire sender, not a 1 wire sender that grounds to the trans case like some of the others so the tape won't affect anything.
