Check automatic transmission fluid in 2009

Ok. I give up. How do I check the automatic transmission fluid in my 2009?

I would also read the manual.


EDIT: I just downloaded the 2009 manual and it makes no mention of how to check the fluid in the AT. I find that very strange, the only mention is this line on page 10-5 "Check oil and fluid levels with dipsticks or reservoir gauges" I guess the plural use of the word dipstick implies there can be more than one?? As for the OP question I would PM ASH8, he has a 2009 and is very knowledgeable in all things RX-8 related.

if i recall, the only changes is the oil filter relocation and the dipstick itself which means the ATF dipstick location does not change, still the same...

I don't recalling the 09's having a dipstick. I thought it was a rubber plug in the pan and then a threaded plug above that. .

I think the ATX dipsticks went away in 2006.

That sounds like a pretty good description of what is shown here in the 2007 rx-8 shop manual:
