I installed a trans temp sensor on my outgoing fluid line (per the
instructions on the kit). This would give you the most useful and
real-time temp readings. I would think, if you put it through your
pan, you get delayed and much cooler readings.
In fact, with the bung-through-the-pan methond, your quickest temp
increases will happen when your fan turns off, thermostat closes, or
engine temps increase. You're seeing the effects of these on your
trans fluid. With the sensor in the outgoing fluid line, you'll see
the effects of these on your transmission! Plus, if you're burning it
up, you'll know almost instantly.
