Sounds like something in transmission disconnected from output shaft and part of the transmission is spinning, so when you go to place it in park the park pin is trying to in gauge. Just a thought.
Hope that helps.
- Park the car on a level ground.
- Under the transmission, you will find an 8mm Allen key head bolt on a sheet metal oil pan. This is a drain bolt.
- Place a tray or can under the bolt.
- Unscrew the bolt and take it out. Do not worry, the oil will not drain completely out of it. Inside this hole there is another 6mm plastic Allen key head tube. The complete cvt oil only drains completely if you loosen and take this tube out.
- To add the cvt, there is 22 mm bolt on the middle left side of the transmission. Take this bolt out, add the cvt, if required and tighten it back.
- If the transmission oil is seen coming out of this hole, the level is OK, if not add more oil till it starts coming out through this drain hole.
I cannot understand which dipstick you do want to know about. If you want to know about the auto transmission, it is Continuous Variable Transmission CVT. It does not have any dipstick on it. To check the CVT oil level do the following:
- Park the car on a level floor.
- Open the Allen head bolt from under the transmission oil pan with 6 mm Hex Allen key. CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles. Keep your eyes away to avoid the oil getting in.
- If the oil is seen coming out of this hole the level is OK. If not, open a bolt (marked with TC) attached to the upper left side of the transmission with wrench, add original Toyota CVT Fluid TC with part number 08886-02105 printed on the tin.

I believe what you're saying is that after your car has been in park and you put it in gear to drive it makes a grinding noise for about 30 miles. I recommend checking you transmission fluid level and adding fluid as needed. You should do this fluid check while the engine is warm and car is idling. Since you have an 88 you probably have a lot of miles on it. I've had very good luck using Slick 50 High Mileage Automatic Transmission Treatment. A bottle of this costs around $15. If none of this works it may be time to take it into the shop or trade it in.
