200-4r dipstick
Hi
I am finishing up a engine/transmission swap, where I swapped my th350 for a 2004r.
I'm trying to get the dipstick in for the transmission, but no luck. The dipstick came with the transmission, I'm not trying to reuse the old th350 dipstick.
Is there a "Trick" to get the thing in?
THanks

If you are using the same dipstick that came out of that engine/trans originally, it should fit fine. Each transmission has the dipstick/fill tube calibrated together so that the "fill" mark is in the right place to set oil level. Try rotating the dipstick a fraction of a turn and see if it will engage the fill tube properly.

You may have to do some adjusting to get it to fit. When I bought my setup from BTO it did not fit. The tube would go in the hole but the tab that is suppose to hold the tube in place with the trans bell housing bolt did not line up with the hole in the bell housing. I was told to check it before I put it in the car by someone on the forum and that saved me a lot of trouble.
