Default How to get madman dipstick in T400

I have a T400 with madman's dipstick. How do I get it in. I have the tranny in the car. Do I have to pull the headers? There is a tab with a bolt hole. Where does it bolt to?

It goes in from the bottom. You might be able to snake it up between the bellhousing and the headers if you are lucky. The tab with the hole goes on the the top right bolt of the bellhousing. Just a word of caution, I have one and another guy does here as well. Depending on when you got it the hole may not line up properly. Especially if you are using an ultrabell. If that is the case, just throw a big fender washer on the bolt and just clamp the tab to the bellhousing with it.

M6 Console all the way, no way in hell it would fit under an A4 console without some SERIOUS work. Also, ordering a Lokar stick would be better IMO. But if you already have the Madman stick, it's a little tough.

We had to do some "fabrication" on my Madman dipstick yesterday. Mainly make an elongated bracket, and do a little bending to clear the cowl.
It works, but it cost my buddy Jeff about 2 tablespoons of blood. Damn car bit him in the process!
