Default Lack of RPM gauge

OK so I was recently given a 97 dodge neon. Its manual.

What I'm wondering is why there is not way to tell where i am rpm wise. No gauge at all.

What can i do about this. I am used to shifting with the gauge and now im going by ear and i dont think im doing the car any good
