99clk tranny fluid check

I am wanting to check the transmission fluid in my Benz. I found a dipstick at the back of the engine but the cap says MB Shop ONLY. It is a round cap with a retangle tab on it. How do I open this and is this what I want to do to check the fluid level and even suck out the fluid from??

I can tell you how to remove the cap, but it won't do you any good because.....there's no dipstick to be found. This is an access point for a shop tool only. Only a dealer has the dipstick for it. This is to prevent over filling of the transmission.
However if you don't see any leaks chances are fluid is fine.
