I don't know why this is happening, but my transmission dipstick keeps popping out of it's seated position. From pressure, I guess?? Anybody experience this, and know of a fix??

Make sure the trans breather is not plugged or the trans is not overfilled.

It seems like it might be a vent problem. Where is the transmission breather located and what does it look like please?

No pics but it should be attached to the dipstick tube,sadly just out of reach of most hand sizes besides a 3 year olds.

A local member (KJ 119) and I got together a while back and he was having the same problem. Instead of treating the cause, (lack of 3-yr old hands) he treated the symptom - used a zip tie to keep the dipstick in. No more problems.

P.S.: Me gusta the new avatar, tjkj. Vurrnice, vurrnice. Now if only we could get you to drop that gasser (patooie!) and get with the program on a real engine. . .. :D

as to Mykol's original question
try pulling the dipstick completely out - rotate 180 degrees and put it back in
there's a bit of curve and it tends to hold it in.
It's mainly vibration.

HEMI

Or, just go get a CRD and do it all over again. You know you want to. . . . :P

Thanks! I'll try the 180 degree rotate. CRD has a long trip tomorrow- taking my son to the deer woods!

Sorry off topic..............

Sorry no HEMI either,if I where to go that way it would be a real HEMI,no 5.7,6.1,6.4,7.2,or even a old school 426,it would be the 572 HEMI(all alloy) and that ain't fitting :evil: .

I'll go sit in the corner with a mild 306 SBF with stand alone FI and a extremely heavily modded AOD
