Default O.K. Dipstick For TH400

What dipstick everyone running for a TH400.
Trying to get parts together.
So far I have only the BMR X-Member.
Getting the TCI Flexplate.
What trans mount bushing do I need.
And anything else.

Rossler or a Lokar. I've used both and the Lokar is nice looking braided and NHRA approved locking dipstick.

Lokar locking style here

It is not like the old style, where you had to have the adapter to fill it

You can stick a regular funnel in it

I recently switched to a TH350 and used a Madman dipstick. I can say that it's a quality piece, has a factory appearance, and if it's anything similar to their TH400 tube I would purchase it.
