Default Lokar A4 trans dipstick .. Anyone have it ?

I was looking into it. I need a flexible option so i was looking at it. It is a firewall mount. Where did you mount it if you have one ? Thanks

I broke my stocker when we were putting the headers on my car so I went with a lokar. It's been quite a while since I installed it but I am pretty sure it mounts just above the header.

I have one in my 4L80E. I just have it attached with a couple of nylon zipties.

bad30th the end stays in the tranny ? I was a little concerned it just goes in by o-ring and nothing bolted to hold it.

So far so good... I'll check it since I'll have the car up in the air for a few other things, and see if I can get a pic.

Finally got underneath the car and snapped some pics of the trans dipstick where it enters the trans (kind of hard to get the camera in there !). Just remember mine is a 4L80E, not sure if there are any differences with a 4L60E...





Cheers,

Just a question, did your tranny bolt up fine when you swapped from the 3.8?
