AT Transmission dip stick.
Is there a dip stick for AT transmission, I've looked all over the engine bay and owners manual.

No stick. I guess you just change it out when needed...

No its called a sealed system you dont need to change it for 100k. Maybe more if you constantly in the dirt but per Toyota 100k.

Re: AT Transmission dip stick.
The FJ's trans does not have a typical diptstick, but it has an overflow tube on the pan that can be checked. It also has a fill plug and a drain plug and the .pdf procedure for changing it are found in several places on this site.

Agree there is no dipstick. 100K is way too much for me. Mine will be done at about 30K.

Re: AT Transmission dip stick.
So when you want to change it how do you change the filter and fluid if its sealed?

Your options for fluid are Toyota (Type WS) or Redline D6 ATF.
Here are the instructions.
