Default Transmission Temp Sensor: Is this it?? (photos)

i'm getting a fault code 37 ("Transmission temperature sensor voltage signal above or below acceptable voltage values.") and i'm considering trying to replace it. i have a 95 1500 4x4 with the tow package and 46RH transmission.

i've read on here that my transmission temp sensor should be located on a line near the transmission on the left side. i found this 2 prong electrical connection running on a line to the left of the transmission pan. these photos aren't great but it was difficult to position my phone camera to get a good shot.

i can't find a part # for this sensor anywhere. i went to 3 different parts stores today and they couldn't find a "transmission temperature sensor" in their databases. the nice gentleman at o'reilly's even called the local dodge dealership, gave him my VIN # and even the dealership parts sales guy couldn't figure out which part i needed. am i calling it by the wrong name?

thanks for the help!

That's what the service manual calls it, and that's what you have there in the pics.

Go to the dealership, have them bring up the pics of the trans lines. Point at the part you want.
