Dipstick Tube??!!
How hard is it to change the tranny dipstick tube and what all is there to doing it? Also is there some kind of special transmission line that i need to use for my cooler because for some reason my line just busted all of a sudden.

trans flex tube
I bought one of these kits that replaces the tube&stick with a flex stainless type hose that bolts or snaps in to the tranny and has its own flex stick too! Its like $60or $80 and i love it !and its o ringed on the top & bottom .Also comes with a custon filler bottle that snaps onto the top of the flex line so your not spilling trans fluid all over the place!LOL Its a really nice iteam i found at my local speed shop!thats made for our tranny!

all i did was bend my 4l60 dip stick tube to fit with my th350 and marked it to the appropriate full level when i did the swap and it looks factory and works the same. you just need to make sure your full mark is in the right place so it reads accurate. as for your lines if you wana get out cheap.. go to advance auto or something and pick up rubber transmission hose and you should be fine. also make sure it not rubbing up aginst something bc down the road that can cause a hole and the line to fail
hope that helps
