Sticking tranny dipstick

I am assuming on the 4ltr in the XJ-S it is on the LH side, just adjacent to the engine dipstick, like in my AJ16 (X300)??.
If so I would think it is probably just "stuck" on the o/ring seal that is just under the plastic bit you actually grab hold of.
It also may be that it has NOT been extracted for a looooong time and is also just "stuck".
There is NO clip, or special technique to removing it that I know of.

Or, just dribble some trans fluid around the top bit, and it should soak thru and lube the thing, this allowing extraction.
My V12 is a MONGREL at times, and access is ZERO, so a long hook wire, and pull like hell. One day that red plastic is going to break, so be it. I lube that thing every time it goes back, but it still sticks on the 2 o/rings. It dont leak ATF, so I dont dip it too often.
