Transmission Temp Gauge

I would like to install a trans temp gauge in my '93 A4. I'm a bit confused by electrical vs. mechanical. Which would you guys recommend? I will probably mount it in a pillar pod, but then where should I connect the sending unit? Anybody done this?

I used an electric sender type, mounted in the pan. I used a trans pan drain plug kit and left out the plug then screwed in the sender. Couldn't be easier! I drilled a hole in the front drivers side of the pan, check very carefully where you put the sender as there is not a lot of room.

Do you remember where you bought the drain plug kit?

Summit or Jegs when I ordered something else. A local place would have them too.
