Hi. your car has no trans dipstick. it is designed to be serviced from the bottom here are instructions in the diagrams below to show you how. You pump the fluid in from the bottom and the excess runs out. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

There is no filler plug on this model..the tranny is "sealed" and only supposed to be serviced by Ford with a special machine that pumps the fluid out and in.
