Yup, removed at TS50000, same time the transmission tunnel was slightly
reworked to clear the bigger starter bulge, required for the later starter
and flywheel.  The dipstick was replaced by a fill plug on the side of the
gearbox, which doubled as a level indicator.

What's interesting is when someone accidentally mates a later top cover
(without the dipstick) with an early gearbox (without the plug).  Result is
no way to fill it or check the level.
