There is a bolt on the drivers side of the trans in front of the big black electrical connector just above the pan. Pull it out and put your temp sender in there. Or drill and tap the pan if you really want to.

It doesn't need to go in the pan. Sure, that would work fine but its unnecessary. The sender will be in constant contact with trans fluid in the test port and its already the right thread size (for most senders). Its a no brainer really.
