Well, I have a temp gauge on my too. I am out in California. During the winter driving around town I could barely get the temp to 110 120, and Hwy driving the temp never moved off of 100. Now that summer is here the temp on the hwy is about 120 to 130 and driving around town I am seeing temps as high as 170 to 180. I think your most likely ok. The only other thing I could suggest is try cleaning your tranny cooler by sparying down the coils with a water gun on your hose. That will clean off the bugs and dust so you can get the most air flow without obstrutions. I was told by a personal friend who is a big tranny repair guy and owns his own shop, not to worry about tranny temps in the 170's to 190's. no big deal. He said the only time you really need to keep an eye on temps is when your towing heavy loads! hope that helps a tiny bit.
