Not to hijack but does anyone have a tip on checking fluid level? My dipstick just comes up soaked everytime...

The level check on the dipstick is very "nuts" as I would like to put it. The hot reading is only good when the transmission fluid is almost burning hot.
The dead cold fill level is quite a few mm below the cold mark. for my E300D with the "weak" 722.4 transmission - the point is 11mm below the cold mark which makes it right about where the dipstick curls. For your 722.3 (stronger) transmission the mark is 7mm below the cold point.
When filled at these points the hot fluid check comes out perfect.
