Answer
Hi, the transmission should install fine and work ok.
The later models didn't use a dipstick, all the way up to current models.
The method to check the fluid is:
At 30-50c, with the engine running in park, open the fill plug on the side, and some fluid should run out at that temp.
When filling the trans after replacement. Fill in the fill port with the engine off until fluid runs out.
Then start the engine and continue filling until fluid runs out again.
