Re: Tranny Question
nope, I have that pic i the service manual. I need the other side where the tv cable goes into the tranny. The hole in the tranny is (guessing) 3/4 inch, the tv cable is (guessing) 3/8 inch. Old school for a turbo 350 has just a rubber o-ring on it. I put a o-ring on the tv cable and it looks as if it will leak like crazy. Thanks for trying to help me out. Anybody else got something?

Does anyone have any tips on getting the dipstick back into that seal when you reinstall the trans? I always get hung up at that step and mine just doesnt want to go in, and i end up hammering on it from the fill neck up top and it barely goes in.

Re: Tranny Question
I smear a little clean ATF on it and twist it in from the top. The shape of the dipstick and the tab that secures it to the back of the motor both work against you. The sloped bend doesn't allow you to put direct force behind it and the tab likes to get caught on everything. Threading the bellhousing bolt through the metal tab on the dipstick and the clip that holds the wiring harness is always "fun" for me.
