Sl320 gearbox oil level check ?

[MagniMike]

This might be a bit basic, but can anyone tell me how I can check the oil level in an automatic gearbox on a 1999 SL320.

Buy a test stick from MB around £36 over here,,or use a length of curtain wire, where when inserted in the tube after removing the seal on the cap, it should be around 5.6cm up the wire with the engine at 80C

I will try the curtain wire method, my biggest problem is in finding the cap !
Dumb I know, is it the black plastic one on top of the bell housing ? which seems to be quite difficult to remove. not tried to much prising yet.

break the seal and it comes off,you can re use without the seal
