You need to either cut and install a T fitting on the trans cooler line or buy one that is already made up. You can get them from dieselmanor.com.

Or you can use an AccuTemp adapter that fastens on the output line from the tranny to the cooler. No need to open the case or lines so no possibility of contamination.

I second the Diesel Manor line...you never truly know actual trans temps unless you read them from the HOT line coming out of the TC.

Senders mounted in the pan only offer trans temps AFTER it comes back from the coolers, there can be as much as a 30-60* difference when the TC is unlocked between the HOT line and the pan.
