It doesn't have a dip stick. it's a sealed unit.
At least that's how was on a Passat I had with the tiptronic.

how do you add transmission fluid to a 1996 vw jetta?
It is important to maintain the fluid levels of a car with the correct fluid types. The transmission fluid type for a 1998 VW Jetta is Universal ATF or ATF 1 fluid.
If its a tiptronic, its "permanent." If you have transmission problems, best take it to a VW/Audi tech.
It is important to know the fluid capacity of a car. The 1998 Jetta holds approximately two liters of transmission fluid, which would be a little over 2 quarts.
OEM fluid is Pentosin Vw Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF1 and that is what I recommend you use.
I have a 99 jetta, and you are unable to check the transmission fluid on your own. You will have to take it to a service station where they will check it for you for free.
Its sealed, you have to take it to the dealer!!!!
Manual or Automatic?
There is no transmission dipstick on automatic or manual transmission Passats. The automatic (tiptronic) transmissions have a "lifetime" fluid that can generally only be changed by the dealer.
