In the past I have taken both hoses of an fitted hoses to each pipe and into seperate containers.Start your motor for a few seconds and turn it of.The rest is obvious.

So i ended putting it on the first pipe.
And either it's on the wrong one or the gauge is wrong.
Stays around 60-62 Degrees all the time. And went up to 80 once when i was driving around with the torque converter unlocked.
What are your transmission temps?

You want to connect it to the 2nd pipe as this is the oil outlet from the trans which will show the true oil temp as it exits the trans.
