You do not want to monitor the temp at the output to the cooler. The temp will blow your mind. I tried this and temps were way too high. Talked to Manny and he told me that is why I do not monitor it there.

I did this once also, makes for a very nervous driver indeed b/c those temperatures can start to look pretty high and meanwhile you have no idea what temperature the internals of the transmission or the bulk of the fluid is seeing. After about 5000 miles with it I realized that I should have put it in the pan. That's the temperature that actually matters. Then I sold that motorhome to buy a GMC.
