How To Check Tansmission Fluid In An '02 430

[sgretchko]

I can not seem to find a way to check the transmission fluid level and color in my 53k '02 LS430. What am I missing?

sealed lifetime lubrication. There is no dip stick.

Found it, had to remove the engine cover to get to it. On the drivers side, close to the rear with a brownish plug. I think the 04 to 06 are completely sealed but was told their was a way to check the previous version.

Hmmm, your '02 must be different from my '02. The tranny dipstick is right next to the engine oil dipstick. There is no cover to remove. However, there is a "latch" on the dipstick that you have to push to one side as remove the stick.
