H, yiour vehicle has no transmission dip stick, here is the procedure from Lincoln.
Use a OBDII scan equipment to monitor Transmission Fluid Temperature, start the vehicle and run engine at idle until fluid temperature is between 80° to 120° F (27° to 47°C). Shift through gears slowly stopping in each gear allowing it to engage. Put in PARK position. With engine running put vehicle up on hoist level as possible. Hold the larger drain plug with a wrench and remove the small center plug. Allow the fluid to drain, making sure that the fluid is between 80° to 120° F (27° to 47°C). If the fluid comes out as a thin stream or drip, the fluid is at the correct level. Reinstall the small center plug and tighten to 7 ft. lbs. (10 Nm).
You will need a special fitting available from Lincoln and screw it into where the fluid level indicator was. Add new transmission fluid to a suction gun, attach the gun to the fitting and add fluid in 1/2 pint increments, wait one minute, if the fluid comes out in a thin stream or drips the level is correct. If not add another 1/2 pint.
SOURCE: Where do i add transmission fluid in my 2004
There is no need to add,unless it leaks
The way it is filled, is through a 3/8" pipe plug on to tail housing
or blowing it into the center of the trans pans drain plug,after
removing the center 1/8" pipe plug and using an adaptor going to
your pressurized container.
With the car at 180 degrees or more and level,remove the center
pipe plug and the fluid should just run out.
The drain plug it's self ,serves as the level indicator,it has a tube
extending upward ,that establishes the correct level.

look for the red dip stick its usually in the back area ,,the best way to fix that is to use a quart of lukes transmission slip and sealer it is the best on the market and coast about 11 dollars that's a way to start first ...good luck hope this will help

I believe that trans is of the 5R55N/S/W family, and the fluid level AND fill are both located on the bottom trans pan.There is a procedure and fill cautions as well as tools required,as per Ford Motor Co.

There actually is not a transmission dipstick for the Lincoln LS. The only way to access the transmission is via the fill/drain port that is on the underside of the transmission. It is essentially a small bolt within a bigger bolt. It also takes a pressurized machine to fill the transmission. Ford kinda gets you with this design, you have to take it to a dealer to get it serviced.
However, on a Lincoln site, one person stated:
"I had my tranny fluid changed which made it shift even harder. the mechanic told me to take it to Ford and have them reset the computer. So I pulled the battery cable off for a minute and put it back on to reset the computer. Now the car shifts like it should... Try this first, its free".
On the Lincoln forum, Tom stated, " the Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid Pack needs to be replaced. This seems to be a common issue on the transmission you have. There are 3 pressure control solenoids & 4 shift solenoids in one plastic part ,made by Bosch. You remove the trans pan,the gasket is reuseable silicone You remove the filter, You remove approx 7 -- T30 bolts, holding the solenoid pack & one 10mm electrical connector bolt. HPN-9L2Z7G391A about $400 for the part and add on labor. Add in some new Mercon V and filter kit and your good to go. "
Good luck.
