So i got my trans bolted up yesterday finally. But prior...i tried to install the lokar dipstick and it pushed in tight at first but then pulls out real easy or too easy. Im afraid at wot it might pop out....how have you guys using the push in style kept it in place?? Thanks. I can include pics in a little bit.

 

I thought Lokar was making one with a bracket now to hold it down.
On the one I had I used a nearby bolt, a piece of steel, and a clamp,
pretty simple.
If its to easy, it could leak, maybe it needs a thicker o ring

 

Do you happen to have a pic please?

 

Did you use the new grommet it came with?

 

Only thing that came with the packaging was the dipstick already put together and the fill tube. Do you have an idea what the new grommet looks like?

 

Looks like this

 

My lokar didnt come with that. But i did try to use the 4l60e one yesterday and put it over the lokar sip stick stick and insert it into the th400 but it was a no go. Are their different size ones for the th400?? Where can i purchase it from?

 

This is the one i have and not the other one.

 

I've seen them on a lot of cars, they look nice but every one leaked.Its a piece of **** in my opinion. The owner just told us to silicone it and hope it stops.

 

Get the style that has a positive lock. The Tech guys will thank you, and so will your car when it pushes fluid out/blows out the dipstick.

 

I have to use that same dip stick. I used some black rtv under the head and around the first oring to seal and kinda glue mine in. I also revamped the bracket with a pc of metal close to the handle and drilled a hole in it for one of them 1/4 inch pins that have the cam over ring on the end. So far tech hasn't said anything
