How accurate are tranny temp readings with sending unit in fast coolers?

I just got the 5600 today, then the UPS guy comes tonight, with my stuff from genos... first, I am going to have to get pretty damn creative with the length of the wires for the sending unit for tranny temp gauge. second, sending unit, when inserted into plug in fast cooler, does not even go into housing. it is ¼" to 1/8" outside of main part.. with this being the COOLER, will the temps be close to the same as in the main part of the tranny? I know some of y'all have these, and would appreciate it if y'all chimed in.. Thanks a million.
