Couldn't find the transmission fluid dipstick for a 2001 Honda
Accord. Does it even have one, or does it need to be taken for
maintenance ??

The auto trannies have one. See

Go stand in front of your car and look inside the engine bay.

Immediately to the right of the battery for a 4, or to the left for a 6,
deep down inside, there should be a round yellow loop just big enough for
your finger. It may be kind of dirty and hard to see under the hoses, so
look carefully. That's the dipstick handle.

To check the level, run the engine to fully-warm, then shut it off. Within
one minute after shutoff, pull the dipstick, wipe it off, fully re-insert
it, then pull again and check the level.

ONLY EVER USE GENUINE HONDA ATF-Z1 for top-up or replacement! I'm neither
kidding nor exaggerating.

automatics, not sticks.
