So, plan on replacing the trans and making sure that when you do you make certine that you have the latest brain for it.

HUH? The guy's not having any trouble but trying to get the dipstick to measure the level of fluid and you're telling him to plan on replacing the tranny? It sounds like he's just taken on one of the best bits of preventive maintenance you can perform on the 722.6, and he'll probably get another 100K out of it...mine's at 133K now and I've driven it hard and it is still performing great after I did the same service at 115K.
Don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about, like this guy. It is important that you check the level correctly, with the engine running and in park at operating temperature on level ground...as long as you do that you should be all set.
Did you put a pan magnet in if yours didn't have one while you had the pan out?
