Where the heck is the trans dipstick on a 2005 v6 Mustang?

 

There isn't one...I know, lame!

 

That is the strangest thing, why the heck would they do that?

 

I think their rationalization is that autos do not use tranny fluid, they don't burn it off. And if there are no leaks, the fluid does not need to be checked. Many people do not know how to properly check the fluid level of an auto tranny, and tend to overfill it. This causes more harm than good. Also, the dipstick is the best way for dirt to enter the system and reduce the life of the tranny.

Not saying it was a good idea, just why they did it.
