There is on mine! It's in the top right corner of the gauge panel and has the the thermometer inside the gear icon next to it ... just above the coolant temp gauge.
Here's a pic:

Hmmm... now you got me thinking. That doesn't seem right though... gonna investigate in my own manual then!
A couple things that throw red flags for me with that...
When I start my truck in the cold temps, that gauge is the first to warm up (which coolant would do) and the one below which I was under the impression is oil temp, warms up slower, which also makes sense. The gauge you guys are calling the factory "trans temp" does not coincide with warm up times with my stand-alone Dipricol Optix trans temp at all....
The "trans temp" you guys are referring to, that I thought was coolant, completely coincides with warm air starting to blow inside my cab too...
This gauge also warms up while truck is sitting in park in the driveway, while my standalone does not...
I've also had the factory gauge max out before and dash blinks and beeps and says "check gauges" and my trans temp gauge was still completely normal...
More investigation will ensue!!! Good info guys...

Yea that is what I could never figure out on our 03 it says trans temp and when I let it sit and idtal to warm up when it is cold the guage will rise up never understood how trans could warm up at idle
