Does anyone make a flex assembly that will pass the rule for locking transmission dip sticks. We currently run a unit purchased from Mancini Racing and the stick is sealed with o-rings and fits tight,hafta really tug on it, to get it out. The standard tube style will not work in our Avenger because the mid mount is in the way. Any suggestions?

I went to my local U-Pull It junkyard and got a couple locking dipsticks from newer GM vehicles. You can then cut and weld your dipstick to the locking one, remark the locking dipstick to your length or put your dipstick in your trailer and use just the locking portion of the locking dipstick in your dipstick tube if it is the same diameter.

In my Avenger i had the same issue! no room! i just installed a short dragster style it's fine. once you install the propper fluid amount no need to check it after that, so why have it in the way....

I think Lokar has a flexible locking dip stick for both engine and trans.

Lokar has the set up for you.
the quick connect deal is the best. I can get you a good price on one if interested. Tim

If you just need the stick....all GM dipsticks look exactly like that.
I used to work at a chevy parts dept. Just ask the parts guy to take you the parts bins under section 4.020. They are under $10. There are a couple size ODs, so measure what you need and stop in to the Chevy dealer. If they only have long ones, you can drill out the rivets and whoala. Clark |

The chevy one cad is talking about is the way to go . Just compare them side by side and cut to length or trim then etch or scribe the full/add line on it ! Hope this helps.
