I'd think twice about doing the transmission yourself. These cars don't come from the factory with a dipstick. There is a check tool you can buy from the dealer. The level of fluid is *very* temperature sensitive. You have to make sure the fluid is 80 degrees C in order to get a good reading, otherwise you could easily overfill it and this leads to a lot of trouble with these transmissions.
