Dipstick recommendation for 4l80e swap into 68 Camaro?, replacing 4l60, not sure if interchange but fond of the one in it now. Would prefer something close to oem, flexible cable, fixed hard tube with rubber tipped end.
Odd but noticed the quality construction of the one in wife's Mercedes during oil change, does anything like it exist for our resto mod builds?

I ordered a stock GM tube and dip stick. I'll post how it fits.

Any updates?

It fits the trans and has a tab that bolts to one of the bellhousing bolts. It remains to be seen how it fits in the engine bay.

I used a black lokar transmission dipstick in my 67 camaro for the 4l80e. Mounted it to the firewall out of the way. Havn't had any problems with it.

The dipstick I posted worked great. We actually shortened it a bit and it's perfect now.
