trans dipstick?

bob_dude · 06-08-2008, 05:54 PM

I ran into a slight over sight while dropping in my ls1/4l60e and was just wondering what some of you guys did in your swaps. My current trans dipstick (99 2.2) comes nowhere near fitting the new setup. Let me know what you did and part numbers if available. Thanks

Any of the flexible ones will allow you to mount the dipstick anywhere you please on the firewall.

for a factory look you can use the original camaro 2002ish that came with your setup (ls1-4l60e) and what I did was trimmed the tube and stick shorter because the camaro is real long and it looks out of place. you trim the tube then push the set pin in the handle on the stick out then they come apart. then trim the EXACT SAME amount off the stick then re drill the push pin hole put it back the way you took it apart. Then you have a factory looking dip stick!

i used a universal one from summit that was not flexible. Worked out great.

I have a stock one from a 4th gen F-body that works just fine.
