Default Tranmission dipstick not tight?

Hey guys I got a quick ? My transmission dipstick is loose and it is not in place. Do you guys know where the trans dipstick is bolted up to? I can see a hole on the dipstick itself so a bolt must go through that hole. Any help would be much appreaciated.

Not a problem I had it fixed about 3 hrs ago. The rubber groment on the tube slide over the neck on the bottom of the dipstick so the tube could not slide down anymore( which was the whole problem of why it was not in palce). I had to take the dipstick out (what a mess that was) well it is fixed now! Thanks for the help the bolt that holded on a wire loom thing also connected to the dipstick and dam was that wire loom thing a pain to move out of the way. Thanks for wheel comment. I am thinking of 275/45/17 out back. Devin

Yes I have but it does not look right, the rim looks way too small for the tire IMHO.
