Locking Trans Dip Stick

Jim Storms · 03-14-2010, 02:07 PM

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.

Jeff, The Lokar piece is the way to go.

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

Does Lokar have an application fot the 904 Torqueflites? I was on their website and did not see one.

Lokar has a flexible dip stick tube but its a pain to install. You have to remove the pan, so you can bolt it to the case. Of course it doesnt push in easy , you really have to work with it. I was replacing my non locking Lokar dip stick tube with the locking one and the bracket doesnt match up. So you have to drill new holes for the bracket. All this and its not easy to read, i dont know why other than the tube hangs so low in to the pan. But its flexible, its got that going for it. oh yea its also over $110

Thanks for all the different suggestions. I'm sure we can figure something out.

Hi Jeff

Lokar makes one for the 350 turbo. Dave Smith at Pro Trans and me turned down the pan nut and slotted it to tighten it. No problems so far.
