A mechanical temp sensor will need to be mounting in the pan. I also read over in LS1 Tech, Chuck recommended electric sensor to be mounted in the pan not the pressure port, because the sensor will obstruct the flow of oil in the tranny.
Another option you can do is install a cluster with a tranny temp gauge.

I have an Autometer electric trans temp gauge, and I used the port right above the linkage on the drivers side. My experience so far is that it reads damn good here. Have compared it to what my wifes Yukon reads at operating temp, and it is dead on. Easy install, sensor was same thread as test port.
