Default Checking the fluid level on the Auto Trans

Every car that I have had with an automatic transmission has had a way of checking the fluid level i.e. a dip stick.
I have looked but have not been able to see were this might be located.
Can you let me know were I should be looking or If the Crossfire Auto's don't have one just how do you check the fluid lever?

There just ain't one!

Once you do the first flush and fill ( "B" service) it's a Lifetime thing. At least that's what DC says.

Oh -- That just makes me feel so secure -

Guess that I am just one of those that likes to see that things are not going south for my self.

Thanks for the info I was concerned that it was there and I just could not find it

I don't think that the dealer's are even allowed to open up the tranny.

I believe there is a dipstick kit available from Mercedes. Pretty sure I've seen it on this forum a time or two. Try a search.

Yes there is dipstick kit available. I read about it somewhere before. But that's not for regular check thou, you don't have to.

Checking the automatic transmission fluid level is a big pain. The procedure is described in the Crossfire Service Manual (available here, see p. 21-294). First, you need a special dipstick. You can order one here. Then, you'll need a code reader that can get the automatic transmission fluid temperature from the car's computer and a replacement dipstick tube cap (you have to break the old one to take it off). I don't have a code reader as I don't know which ones will give the transmission fluid temperature. If you find one, please post it.
