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

wish i would have seen this before. i just got mine in the mail today. definately not dealing with this mess now.

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.

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.

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.
