Am I the only person that doesn't like the dipstick position on the tranny?

everytime I check it I have a heluva time trying to get it to stay put looks like a cork with a rod in it.... wish they would have a made a tube for it ....but i guess it does save the stick from dropping into the hole ....


Anyways ...anyone have a surefire way to make the dipstick stay put (aside form gorilla gluing it) hehe

I have the same problem. if I barely touch the dipstick it moves around so much and I really feel it doesnt sit in there like it should. Everytime I wash my engine, I have to cover up that area just so I dont get water in the tranny.

I asked if there is any kind of retrofit lip flange or something like a tube or a whole new kind of set up for the dipstick and they said they didn't make anything.....

usually when I change the tranny fluid, I will play with it for a few minutes and get it in to were it doesnt move around. It feels really loose to me, but I dont think it moves around while driving.

yea is there a better stick or a stopper we could stick there? I thought it was suppose to seal. Especially in winter, I can barely tap it and it falls out.
