They eliminated the dipstick on the Auto trans. You have to remove the cover where the old dipstick used to go and insert a special tool to check the oil level. I guess the bean counters at GM thought they could save a buck. It really sucks, not only for the do-it-yourself folks, but also the techs who work on these cars for a living.

Here's some info from SAAB


Beginning with the 2006MY, service/remanufactured transmissions had the dipstick used to check the auto trans level eliminated. A transmission oil level gauge rod DT-47653 is available for checking the oil level on these transmissions. The dipstick cannot be retro-fitted due to a change in the transmission case. These service parts may go back to the 2004MY. For the service procedure follow WIS instructions located under: 9/5 / transmission / automatic transmission / repair instructions / automatic transmission, transmission fluid level without dipstick.

DT-47653 Gauge Rod was/is a required tool and should be used to properly check the transmission once this unit has been installed.

DT-47653 Gauge Rod is part of the New dealer tool package and was automatically shipped to all Saab dealers in June, 2006.

It is available from Kent Moore at https://gmspecialservicetools.spx.com/ or through DealerWorld/Service tab in GM Special Service Tools Website
