I've seen a fitting that you can splice into your cooler return line (rear fitting on the tranny), though I have never used one it should work ok. The only other place I would mount it would be in the pan. Just think of it as an engine. You really don't want a temp gauge in the inlet hose to the radiator, but rather the returning cooled water or better yet the actual water in the block. And you will get a difference in temps from the block to head, front to rear of the engine. But the general idea is to keep an eye on overheating. If it overheats it overheats no matter where the temp sender is.
