Re: Length of auto trans dipstick Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:16:42 In Reply to: Length of auto trans dipstick, Lester, Mon, 8 Feb 2016 13:48:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
These are a pain. I went to take out the dipstick from my '97 and found the plastic tip had come off! (This is the 2nd time, this one was a used replacement.)
So I took the dipstick out of my '95 and it is still intact.
The plastic projects 3" from the end of the metal spring part. Marks are as follows:
Cold fluid low line: 1" from the tip.
Cold fluid full line: 1-11/16" from the tip.
Hot fluid low line: 1-11/16" from the tip.
Hot fluid full line: 2-1/8" from the tip.
Measurements are approximate and metric would have been better but I used what I had on hand. In the photo the end of the tape measure is actually even with the tip of the plastic end.
Let us know what you come up with, this is a common and annoying problem!
(BTW the plastic end should come out of the trans when you take out the filter, at least that what happened with mine.)
