Are you dropping the trans? When I did this about a month ago, I just left the dipstick tube attached. Once you drop the trans it will slide out and you just have to remember to redirect it back in the hole when putting the trans back up. Hope you get it figured out either way.

Jesus I haven't seen this name around in a while...

What are you trying to take apart? The blue car, or something else?
