So whatever came of this thread? This thread pertains to what I am dealing with.
I am personally looking for an ORIGINAL dipstick for my TH400 (Olds TH400, should be same as Chevy TH400, both have rubber grommet) in my truck! Everything so far I have come across has complete crap reviews.
My current transmission I just removed (Chevy TH400) and it has an aftermarket chrome pos on it. I just had my Olds TH400 freshly built by a local guy that does this for a living (his work is unreal!).
I want: a locking dipstick, correct length, one that fits into a grommet---no o-rings. Is there anything out there?
Here is the transmission. 1969 Olds 400, built for 550hp, everything is new inside. Short tail added to fit the truck without driveshaft mods. He said when this baby shifts you will know it, he put HD everything inside. He said it will literally take anything I can throw at it. His advice was "run it hard and have some fun". He also said this 1969 case is the one to have, he said it is the year they built them thick, extra webbing and solid as can be.
