See thread : https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...dip-stick.html

about a DIY tranny dipstick.

There is an outside chance that the TCM could be faulty.
Raise the car up and check the electrical transmission connector for fluid leaks, quite a common problem on these and MB cars.

Do you (or anyone) know if you take the seal off of the transmission tube to use a dipstick, will it void any warranties? I have a 3 year drive train warranty and the OP has a 4 year warranty and I have wondered if doing something like this would have an adverse affect on the warranty. Just curious.

Thanks.
