Default Need help ASAP

I ordered a lokar dip stick for my 4L60E and the shop gave me one for a 4L60....does any one know if the hole in the tranny is the same? I really do not feel like trying to get this one in and screwing it up if its the wrong size.

i have oil all over the end of the tube.

If they are all the same why is there a bunch of different part numbers? (not trying to be an *** im just really wondering)

I heard lokar dip sticks were a pain in the *** but DAMN

Did you remove your old dipstick boot from the case? It's been a while since I played with one of those sticks. Does the end that goes in the trans have like a lock-nut or nut to nut fitting?

For some reason I think you either have to loosen that up first because the end has some sort of expansion deal to tighten it up in the case. Sorry to drag this out but the last time I used a lokar it was on an old steet rod. I don't do alot RNR these days. See if that works or I'll call my buddy at the street rod shop.

I have been thinking of getting one of these, but now I am not too sure... Did you get the 24" or the 36"? Where are you going to mount the end of it?
