Default Transmission Temp meter?

putting a converter on here in the coming weeks and i have bad driving habits.
Bought a trans temp meter to install. so here's the question.
Do i have to tap into the trans pan to put the sender in or is there already a senser down there i can hook the meter up to? I know nothing about these meters. by the way...its an autometer nv if it matters
Thanks guys

Yep I would also suggest a big trans cooler, trust me your tranny will like you alot more and last just a tad longer...
