TH350 Dipstick tube

[72velle]

Good morning folks,
the th350 on my 84 C10 is leaking from the dipstick tube. After a close look it does not have the tab that keeps the tube from moving around and it wobbles when the truck is running. I found this one at Rock Auto:

Does this look right?
TIA,

You have a pic of the one in tranny? This is ours with some PO sealants all over. No leak here but we just did accumulator, pan and kick down seal yesterday. Hopefully it’s not leaking anymore.

The tube in your link does appear to be the same general shape of the 2 factory tubes that I have. What you're really going to need to watch is the actual dip stick length. Doesn't really matter if it's factory or not, but it does matter how low the dip stick sits in the trans pan so that you can accurately see the fluid level. You can have a factory dip stick, and a deep pan, and keep the same dip stick (exactly what I have) and it will still be correct. What matters is the fluid level in the trans, and where that falls on the correct length dipstick you have.

Thanks for the input. I can post a pic this weekend.
