Yes the pan would be best. You will get the sump temp. 2nd best would be in the front cooler line to the trans cooler. The fluid temp here will be somewhat higher than the sump.

I used to take the trans tube n stick out of a 70's motor home. It was in the stick, made things easy,  then the right ohm gauge or factory gauge. But I'd put it in the pan like the newer ones came with now a day

If you put it into the cooler line make Sure the sensor doesn't restrict the cooler line flow , so use a tee & space it back from the line , if the line is restricted you may be causing the problem !

I think I'll just run it into the side of the pan next time its off. I dont have a gauge right now but would like to just be monitoring it
