Thread: Transmission dipstick obsolete at GM dealer?

My recently acquired 2001 GTP has a broken transmission dipstick (handle gone), and I stopped by our local GM dealership, who promptly told me it was discontinued and he could not locate one anywhere in the USA.

This is a rather large parts center, so I don't doubt them, but I still need a new transmission dipstick regardless...

My question...

Can anyone tell me, or link me, to a list or some other reference as to what other vehicle's trans. dipstick can be used in it's place? In other words, what other cars share the same (or very similar) length dipstick?

Thanks.

Drive to scrap/junkyard, view the billion w bodies. Choose one..

Use a 2-3 foot extension and swivel 10mm soclet. It's yorus.

Oh..even easier. Bring no tools. One paper towel. that way you can wipe it down.

Walk in.. pull one.. pay walk out.

Need directions on install?

Is there a link to that somewhere, lol...

No..I'd write it up for you on the fly.

Auto zone or any other parts store would have one.. But junkyards cheaper.

Would they even charge you for a dipstick at the junk yard?
