I just drained and changed the transmission filter, but I noticed there is no dipstick to add the new fluid. So where exactly can I try to add the fluid?

The fluid is installed from the oil pan. Here are diagrams to help you see how to do the job:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I accidentally drained the transmission fluid instead of the oil when I was going to change the oil.

How do you check the transmission oil in a sealed transmission? And can you replace the oil in a sealed transmission?

The transmission fluid can be checked for level. There is a bolt in the side that is removed. If the fluid comes out, level is okay. Service work should be done by a dealer.
