Default which lokar dipstick for 4l80e?

I have a 4l80e in a trans am and got a lokar dipstick but man it's tight at the cowl and right at the back of the intake. Makes me wonder if I got the wrong lokar dipstick. Is their multiple lokar dipsticks for the 4l80e as in one longer than the other? Or should I get a madman dipstick and if so does it come out like stock with plenty of working room? Thanks.

Yea you got the short one is all. They make 2 sizes a 28" i think and a 32". Correct me if im wrong. I bought the longer one and there is plenty of play to work with.

Thanks! Measured mine since the trans out and it appears to be 27ish depending on where it's measured from. The longer one is definitely what I'll be getting before the trans goes back in then. Thanks for letting me know there is indeed a longer one!!

Get the madman stick . It's fits like stock....
That lokar stick have been known to cause problems with under filling.
