    Just put on SD headers and I pulled the trans. dipstick out thinking it would help, it didn't. It just leaked all my oil out, which was awesome to work around. so I tried putting it back in and the o ring wasn't sealing right, like I expected. so do I just put the new o ring on the trans. dipstick and then feed it back into the hole? or do I have to some how get up in there and insert the o ring into the hole then the dipstick into the o ring? lol

    Stick your finger up and wipe the inside of the rubber grommet (not o-ring) out. Wipe the dipstick tube off and put it in. Start the screw and now tap the top of the tube with a medium tap, tighten screw, tap one more time.

    Should be all set.

    Actually..I know an Asian from Canada. Not sure if that makes him a Casian or Canadasian but.. he's good people.

    Next time use a universal socket on a long extension from the top. Much easier.
