I’m guessing the reason the dipstick is removed is b/c with the way newer auto transmissions are designed, with the large number of gears, the dipstick method isn’t accurate enough. There may also be another problem – what with all the gadgets needed in these 6, 7, 8+ speed diabolical contraptions – it may be hard to find a clear path to pass the dipstick through the transmission.
