Removing a Tranny Dip Stick Tube

Dip stick tube slides right out of later model transmissions, just pull the proper engine to bell mounting bolt. The early ones had a bolt down provision at the trans itself, down into the case.... many times encased in crud and not visible. Make sure of the one you have...the tubes only in an inch and a quarter or so.... should slide right out. Strong chance nothing cracked just tweaked the o-ring hard. I always apply some Permatex grey over the o-ring and assemble wet once you know you won't be tweaking any more.
