The large access plate went away with the 51's.

For 51-54, there is no opening other than the small hole on top of tunnel directly over the breather. That can be accessed by putting the seat all the way back and then folding the carpet up from the rear. It will be about 3 inches give or take in front of the seat edge directly in the tunnel center. You should be able to feel where the padding is cut and just the carpet covers the access plate. The trans can have fluid added from there but that's about all.

The dipstick is still only reached from below. Some have tried to add an opening but the location of the dipstick in relation to the tunnel side & corner by accelerator bottom mount seems to cause issues with some attempts. The hole needs to be large enough to get your hand in a ways to maneuver and have a removable cover. Carpet pull back would still be an issue because the accelerator may have to remove to access the area unless the carpet is modified.
