Thermostat location?

[Burgi]

I’m trying to check my transmission fluid level and the service manual says to pin the thermostat. My 3rd gen had a transmission thermostat that was very obvious. I’ve looked all over this transmission and engine and I can’t find a thermostat anywhere.

What am I missing?

I think it's pointed out or discussed in this Tube.

Looks like there is a “water control valve” that electronically controls the coolant? I looked through the entire cooling system and see no thermostat. The trans has 2 lines running into the radiator and that’s it. I don’t even think there is a transmission cooler?
