Tranny overheating problems? Cure?

Ok, when I drive my Z at highway speeds for extended periods of time, about an hour. My tranny shift points go up to like 4k and 5k and I lose OD. First time it happened I got it rebuilt, that was in august. Now it needs it again. Question is if I by one of those deep tranny pans that adds like 2 qts and has "cooling fins" on the bottom (Do they even work?) and I add a aftermarket cooler, will this cure my problem.
Finally, where is the best place to put a temp gauge to get an accurate reading.
Sorry that I rambled, long day at work and its Fri .
Thanxs

you should have the same problem twice, is the rebuild guarenteed? going with the deep pan and cooler would hurt.
