Default Electric gauge install help needed

I have a set of autometer c2 gauges for my truck that I'm trying to install. Where can I get an electronic sender for the transmission temp gauge? My truck has no sending unit to begin with, and the harness for the gauges has a 2 port female clip on it not a ring connector. Where would it get put into on my e99 4r100?

if you look at the tranny on the drivers side, a little bit forward of the linkage just above the pan i believe there is a plug right there. there is one there on my buddies 2000. the guage set didn't come with the temp sender?

Like he said there's a plug just in front of the linkage pull it out and put the sensor in its like a 8mm bolt, I would go to oreillys and see if the gauges are supposed to come with the sensor, and if not they could order u one,

Call Autometer and get the proper sender... They will be the same for the C2 and for the Cobalt...
