I assume I should drain some of it out, but since the books say it holds 6.5 quarts, where is the missing fluid?

I hope you don't have the 722.6. The five-speed is very sensitive to fluid level and to the acutal fluid used.
You should ONLY use the MB specific fluid and DO NOT put any additives in.
When checking the fluid level on a 722.6, you should have the fluid at 80C for precise measurement.
As to the original poster, WHY are you checking the fluid level? Do you have a leak? Checking the fluid level of the 722.6 is not part of the normal service routine for your car. That's why there is no dipstick.
