    This is something to be asked in chat or something. This shouldn't be a whole thread.

    I have a flexible transmission dipstick tube, it came with the transmission I bought, so I couldn't say where you could get one. reading the transmission fluid level is pretty tough on that dipstick, not sure if I would recommend one.

    std lokar 4l60e dipstick setup, and YES you can shorten the teflon dipstick section at the handle to the length you need.

    yes its a ********** to fill and read but it sits about 3-6" away from 1200* exhaust.

    to make the level reading easier you need to rough up the glossy extruded teflon dipstick with some scotchbrite/etc.

    the molded in crosshatch area is too glossy to hold a visible amount of fluid....
