The tranny does have a fill tube. It does not have a dipstick but you can buy the correct dipstick for it online like from autohausaz.com. But, the tranny fluid level can only be checked correctly at 80 degrees C in order to get the right reading, and unless you have an expensive scan tool then this won't work.

Some people say you can infrared thermometer the tranny fluid pan and if that says 80C then you can go ahead and measure, but thats wrong. I did that, and my fluid ended up being way overfilled.
