[V8] V8 Transmission dipstick

[Seamus O'Carey]

 It seems they just randomly put dipsticks in some V8's and not others.  My
pearl car didn't come with a dipstick, just a tube with a plug on it.  So
I'd just pull the plug and put my ear over the tube to listen for the fluid
level if I needed to check it.  My silver car came with a dipstick, though,
so I need to check with the user manual to find out how to check the fluid
using visual input.
