Default 99 RR 4.6 HSE Who stole the transmission dipstick and filler tube???

I drained the transmission fluid, removed the pan, replaced the filter with a new one, managed to replace the pan with new gasket, and bolted it back together. Hooray!!!!! Now my new-to-me Range Rover is sitting in my driveway because I CAN'T FIND THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AND FILLER TUBE!!!!!!!!

The engine compartment picture I found on this site that shows how to read the dipstick looks nothing like mine.

Please help!!

there is no dip stick or filler tube on those. all you have is a filler plug on the side.

How do you get enough fluid in without it overflowing the plug?

Mike & Arsell:[/align][/align]Thanks for the help. It was a bit intimidating at first, but after spilling about 1.5 quarts all over the ground (newspaper). I finally managed to get it filled and it runs great![/align][/align]I plan on doing it again, but I want to know if there is some type of pump I could use next time. As it was, I had to rig a long plastic tube to a funnel that I bungie-corded to the grikk rack. That worked okay, but I couldn't see when it overflowed and had no control. I considered one of those gasoline containers that has a pump, bt wasn't sure it would pick up trans fluid. [/align][/align]Any ideas?[/align][/align]Thanks again for your help.[/align][/align][/align]Doug[/align]
