Hi Everyone,
I replaced my transmission pan and had a heck of time getting the dipstick tube to separate from the pan. I ended up taking a hack saw to the old pan and then separating the tube from it when it was off the car with a hammer and chisel.
When I put it all back together, the dipstick tube will bottom out in the flared tube on the pan, BUT the mounting bracket won't line up to the bell housing bolt. I I need to slide the dipstick tube up about 1/4" and then I can put the bell housing bolt in.
Is this normal?
Thanks!
