transmission fluid check?

Have searched but can't figure out how to check the transmission fluid! I know it sounds silly - we did say we are Patrol Rookies! Thanks in advance for your help.

; If you get under the car, and look at the gearbox, ; there will be a square headed bolt in the left hand side of the gearboxes ; 'sump'. Simply undo this. The fluid should be level with the bottom of the hole ; for that plug. Otherwise it's like mine with no oil, and ruined ; gaskets!; Brendan; ; ----- Original Message ----- ; From: ; Patrol ; Rookies ; To: Nissan Patrol Club ; Albuquerque ; Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 10:37 ; AM; Subject: transmission fluid check?; ; ; ; ; New Message on Nissan Patrol ; Club Albuquerque; ; ; transmission fluid check?; ; ; ; Reply; ; ; ; ;  ; Reply to Sender   Recommend ; Message 1 in ; Discussion ; ; ; ; ; ; From: Patrol Rookies ; ; ; Have searched but can't figure out how to check the ; transmission fluid!

actually there is a dipstick located on the top of the tranny. The access hole should be in the center hump in the cab, it will be to the right side of the hump just to the left of the hi-low/4wd shifters. I have seen some Patrols that lacked an acess hole, one of mine was this way, I have no idea why it lacks the hole but all should have the dip stick on top of the tranny.   Ian

There is a dip-stick level indicator on the top, front left (not sure if it can be reached without taking off the 'hump-cover' though.
