Weird Problem!

[camestoy]

The dipstick tube for my transmission snapped in half! Where in the heck do I replace this thing? Am I going to have to go to the dealership!?

probably, unless you can swipe one from a salvae yard or somewhere

I have to ask. How did that happen?

 

As stated above salvage yard or dealership. Or maybe you can check ebay or other place online.

I don't know how it happened. I just found it snapped in half and being held up only by the dipstick itself. It was only a matter of time before it all fell out. It's pretty tight against some other parts normally, so it must've just been stressed from flex and a crack developed. It's a strange thing though. I've checked all the normal online places for parts, and I can't even come close to finding this one.

the broken half isn't still down the tube is it? sounds like some nosey kids or a careless mechanic

Nope... I guess I'm gonna have to find something to plug the hole til I can figure this out.

I've heard of this happening before... generally on plow trucks that are subjected to harsh conditions. The tubes just rot/break!
