1997 GMC No Transmission Dipstick???

[shittysilverado]

We are getting my 17 year old brother in law a new truck for Christmas.

It is a 1997 GMC 1500 SL with the V6 and a 4 speed automatic transmission.

It has just started having some hiccups with the transmission so step 1 check the fluid level.

The manual says the dipstick should be passenger side near the firewall. NOTHING!

I crawl underneeth and I can see a tube that looks like it would be the right one.

Climb back on top and it appears that the tube is there, but it has a rubber stopper in it?

What gives? Anyone else seen this before?

Sounds like the dipstick was removed and something put in it's place. A truck from that era would absolutely have a dipstick.
