what dipstick are you running? mine sucks.

 

Madman's. It's been a long time since I bought it but I think this is the same one. http://www.madmanandcoracing.com/sho...aspx?itemid=13

 

thanks man! they only do phone ordering?

 

The madman one is the best one. Your other option is a Lokar flexible one, but they are a pain in the *** to fill with. I've used both, madman wins hands down.

 

I have the lokar flexible one in both my th350 and my 4l80e they look nice and work well but filling can be a lil nightmare.

 

I used the factory 4L60 tube. Hacked off a piece in the center where it was interfering with the body and put in thick bilge pump hose in place of it. Still using the factory dipstick. 2+ years without a leak. Just another cheap alternative in case you are on a budget.

 

Bought mine at a regular transmission shop. Cost about $29 and looks just like the madman? Has a locking lever at the top works great. My stocker was leaking, I tried everything to stop it and finally gave up.

Al 73 Nova 454, TH350, 9"

 

Is yours installed into a 4th gen?

 

i run a madman

 

No, it's in a 73 Nova but they should be the about same. My 95 Z28 has a TH400 in it with a Lokar POS that I hate. It is flexible and is a bit too short to put in a good place. Main problem is the end is almost horizontal and it's very hard to get fluid to go in it.The other one bolts to the upper right bell housing bolt and would also end up in a tight place. Look down this page:

Madman here fit and works great!

 

A dipstick for a 73 Nova wont work in a 4th gen. Our engines are partially under the cowl. The madman dipstick follows the contours perfectly.

 

madman it is!!! but i do like the 4l60 hack up. ingenuity at its best lol.

 

i have a madmans to its not the easy to get in the car tho i have a flexplate shield and sctater shield.

 

Make the stocker work, Lokars are a PITA to fill..while my TH350 dipstick is up underneath the cowl, along the firewall, it does the job and works fine.

 

thats what im doin now and its a major pain to fill. it must have been a truck dipstick in its former life.. idk.
