It doesn't have a dipstick. You have to get the car on a lift or jack it up. There is a plug on the side of the tranny pan that you have to take out. Make sure the car is warmed up and running when you check it or fluid will run out of the hole. The fluid should be about level with the hole when running. Be sure to put the plug in before you turn the car off or oil will run out.

I'll translate:
dumd = dumb
transmition = transmission
dond = don't
