Isn’t there a spot to add transmission other than the driver side front tire being removed and adding it from there?

It says there is a dip stick,

1. Start engine, allow transaxle fluid to reach 158-176° F.
2. Position vehicle on level surface, then set parking brake.
3. With engine idling, brake pedal depressed, move shift lever through all positions.
4. Remove transaxle dipstick, wipe clean, then replace.
5. Remove dipstick again, check fluid at HOT level.
6. Refer to Lubricant Data for capacities. See: Fluid - A/T > Capacities

Fluid Recommended .................... Dexron(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid
