4L60e experts needs some help / advice on dipstick fittment
I have a 5.3 / 4L60e swap in my 71. I have one of those universal dipstcks that snakes over the top of the motor currently
I have since purchased a dipstick and tube for a 2004 GTO since those stop behind the motor
ACDELCO 92057977
ACDELCO 92159815
It says on the stick to use the deep transmission pan, which I have. It's like the one on the right in the pic below
I got the GTO dipstick and filler tube in and installed. Having issues with the dipstick not going all the way down.
Pulled the tube and the dipstick is sticking out past the tube about 2-3/4"
I grabbed my universal tube that was previously installed and the dipstick that came with that one only sticks out past the tube about 3/4"
So that's definitely a problem and hitting something, what i have found out is there is a "stop plate" under where the dipstick comes through. Here's an example picture that was shared with me. Look at the top left corner of the pic
So I guess my question is, do they make interchangeable "stops" that work with either the shallow or deep pan? Maybe I have the incorrect one on the transmission right now??My build thread
