Filler plug on the drivers side rear of the box, so you need to physically get under the car to fill/check it . It is full once fluid starts to dribble out.

A tranny workshop can retrofit a dipstick for those who know what they are doing...

It was one of the things that Bob Hunt threw into the quote when I was asking about a stallie a couple of years ago. IIRC it would have been about $800 all up to fit a 2700 stallie, tighten the belts & increase the line pressures to handle the higher torque loads, and fit the dipstick. Decided against the stallie @ the time due to lack of funds & never asked about the dipstick as a stand-alone.
Will definitely be putting one in when I have to rebuild it though.

they take the tranny out of course when fitting the stallie so it's easy to fit the dipstick at the same time
