On my truck, there are no gauges, other than the trans temp,and I've asked the dealer about ordering them for my dash. They have said with the engine/trans you have, gauges are not necessary??? I do always allow the engine to idle at least 2-3 minutes after pulling for cool down, and do watch the trans temp when in traffic, or backing. Very few trucks like mine do have the gauges your talking about, wonder why.
