I should clarify that my issue with reading the transmission dipstick is not that I can't see the fluid, its that it is smeared up the dipstick making the level hard to determine. I don't have any extensions to the tube, just open the engine cover and pull it straight up.

Seems like the tube gets covered with oil and the small curve in the tube as it enters the transmission likely makes it worse.

Also I live on a rural county road with a fair bit of traffic. So slowing from 55mph to turn into the driveway likely forces some fluid up the tube.

The space race to the moon was in the '60's, same time as the TH425 was being developed.
