89 and 90 gearboxes had a short (2 inch or so) dipstick for the gearbox fluid port. 91 and up went to the bolt head style. I would check the gearbox number (located next to the flywheel shroud) to figure out what year car the gearbox is from.
FWIW- you can install an 89-90 gearbox dipstick on the later style gearboxes. My brother nuked his 93 900's gearbox due to running it dry so I installed a dipstick on the rebuilt gearbox we installed.
Also, the reverse trick will work... pending reverse isn't too far gone, we tried that on a 92 900S that we bought for a song. Reverse was totally gone and flipping had minimal effect... but it was enough effect to actually give a little reverse before popping out... kind of like a break glass in emergency scenario.
It does become annoying having to always search out that parking spot that has a uphill slop or is a pull through.
good luck with it.
