The average consumer cannot check transmission fluid in the 2000 VW jetta. You must go to a dealership for this service. The problematic transmissions are factory sealed and touted to be 'maintenance free' with the fluid port capped by the manufacturer. The 2000 Jettas (as well as other model years) are notorious for early transmission replacement. Do not expect the VW corp to take care of any transmission issues unless you force them to.

Look for a second dipstick, other than the one for oil. It is probably hidden somewhere in the mess of other junk they've added over the years.

You do not check your fluid by removing the plug. That is the drain plug thats on the bottom. You pull the dip stick out that under the hood usually around toward the back or the motor. There will be marks on it that has cold mark and hot mark. Let the car warm up engage the emergeny brake, put in drive, check level on dip stick. should be at the top mark that says hot.

If you are under the car, find the oil drain pan and look toward the rear of the car. There you will see the transmission pan that has two bolts in it. On will be higher than the other. The higher one is used to check/fill the transmission. The fluid should be filled high enough that it is just starting to come out of higher hole when the car is on level ground, that is when it is full. You need to make sure that you run the car and move it through the gears and you should be able to get a little more fluid in there. Obviously the lower bolt is for draining the pan. Hope this helps!
