I actually came up with a novelty way of measuring the ATF level in the Jag Jatco JF506e:
I cut used an angel grinder to cut a roughly about 3mm wide "dip stick" of a 30cm metal ruler, cleaned off all the loose metal and stuck it into the filler plug of the Jatco.
The only problem is that I messed up while filling the totally empty transmission (after I had it off the car), and thus, I can't be sure, WHERE the level SHOULD BE, but I dare say, the level needs to be significantly above the tube, which is above the check level plug and which is supposed to be the level.
It fits into the "fill" tube where the rubber bung is currently. Notice the flared end on the end that goes into the tube and snugs by compression there, as do many dip stick tubes on other vehicles.
It does not look like it comes with a dip stick.
I already produced my own DIY dipstick.
I guess if I wanted, I could create a longer DIY dip stick with a DIY tube sitting on the filler plug, so that no expensive tube from Mazda is required.
