What is your question?
My 300 has no dip stick in the transmission. Is there a way I can check it without relying on the dealer?

I see you have wrote your question months ago, but I'll answer it anyway just in case someone does browse through for information on the Chrysler 300 transmission. NO! There is no way to check your transmission fluid level on the Chrysler 300. Your transmission light should come on if there is a problem. Transmission oil is different from engine oil; transmission fluid does not burn up so if you ever did lose any transmission fluid it would have to come from a leak which you could hopefully spot if it is leaking. Lack of transmission fluid can cause slippage in the transmission which is a good tell tell sign. If you aren't noticing anything crazy with your shifting then everything is ok. Chyslers whole "theory" behind not having a dipstick is due to contamination when constantly checking oil. The transmission is completely sealed and you should just have a dealership change it whenever your manual recommends it ($150 - $200). I personally think it's a load of BS on their theory. How are you going to contaminate the transmission by checking oil from the dipstick?! That's why it has a FILTER! Maybe the guy at the Chrysler dealership didn't know and wanted to feel special about himself.
Yes you can check the fluids... First buy a dip stick there's plenty of after market companies who make them.... Second remove the dealers only cap off the transmission dipstick tube.... Third return your Chrysler and purchase a chevy
Yes! you can check your transmission fluid level on a 2005 300c, you can purchase the dipstick part # 9336, but you also have to have a scan tool that reads the transmission temp, the temp can only be checked in reverse or drive. There is also a chart that you can find on most websites that gives you a graph of what the trans temp is compared to the mm on the 9336 Chrysler dipstick. Also there is a TSB on the 13-pin connector ,that is at the right front part of the trans pan,if the connector is leaking, it has to be replaced, and they also recommend replacing the filter and gasket as well, then rechecking the fluid level. If your not capable of doing this service yourself I highly recommend that you take it to a professional.
that doesnt explain the measurement with a dipstick for chrysler 300
