How to check oil on Automatic ZF transmission?

[Jungerishere]

I think you have enough room but having ramps in front and jacks in rear gives you more room. Let it warm up to 40 C and open fill plug while running. You can check either in park or in neutral (if in neutral, apply parking brakes). Add fluid until it starts to flow out. Put the fill plug back in. Don't let it run to long (hot) or you will get inaccurate measurement since the fluid will expand. I use laser temp gauge and point it on the side of trans to get temperature readings.
