Ford: Tranny Dipstick, yellow cap, exhaust manifold

Question
Hi, Tim.

I'm trying to find the transmission dipstick on my 1995 F-150 pickup truck, automatic transmission, so I can check the fluid level.  Tranny isn't acting right and I want to check the fluid.  According to the book I received with the truck, I've looked on passenger side of engine back toward firewall, searching for a yellow-colored top of the stick, but don't see anything like this.  Can you help me locate?  Thanks.

Answer
The distick is located on the right side of the engine bay, tucked in low by the exhaust manifold.  It may have a red , black or yellow cap or cover.and will be in a 1/2 " tube.  If still having problems, crawl under truck and look for the tube from there.
