Auto Transmission Dipstick Very Loose
I did a drain & fill with OEM Honda transmission fluid yesterday. All went well, but I noticed that the dipstick for the transmission is really loose fitting. Just curious - is that by design, or has the rubber neck on the dipstick that fits into the transmission shrunk?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
