You will need to add a temperature sender which should be matched to the gauge. I would buy the one that goes in the cooler return line.

The top line is the return line back to the trans and this is the preferred location.

Since the transmission fluid heat is exchanged with the coolant the temperature is going to be a little warmer than the coolant under normal operating conditions.
