Re: Obstruction in Transmission Dipstick Hole Reply #26 – November 29, 2017, 08:05:20 pm Undo the bolt on the tube and lift it up and out. What ever is below that should be reachable with some long needle nose pliers. Quote Selected

Re: Obstruction in Transmission Dipstick Hole Reply #28 – November 29, 2017, 08:29:07 pm A possibility is to use an inspection camera down the tube if you can get one with the proper size camera end. They work very well for this sort of thing. Have a great day ---- Fritz Quote Selected

Re: Obstruction in Transmission Dipstick Hole Reply #30 – November 29, 2017, 09:40:54 pm TimOurs also hits something a few inches from all the way down, has done this since we purchased it. As John44 stated above in his post, I just rotate the dipstick while inserting the last few inches and it goes the rest of the way in . I have always assumed it is catching on the bushing/seal where the tube enters the tranny housing. Quote Selected
