transmission dipstick tube removal

If you ca'nt get the bolt out.Try cleaning around the rim of the dipstick where it goes into the trans with lacquer thinner then take a good rtv and
smear it around where you cleaned and let it dry all night.I took a q tip and a small mirror so i could see the back side of the stick when applying the sealant.If you do get the bolt out replace it with a shorter one.It is also hard to get the stick out and back in with out tilting the engine downward that's why i would try the sealant first you might get lucky
