Re: Transmission Dip Stick Help

There are many variations for TH350. Maybe you have a long tube but a short dipstick? I'm not sure what the length difference is though. If you have the stock style tube, the stick itself should be about 1 1/2" longer. 27" tube would need about a 28 1/2" stick.

Re: Transmission Dip Stick Help

I don't think it is the stock stick/tube because the stick is over 34" long and both the tube and stick look brand new(I compared it to my Dad's camaro with a TH350 and his is much shorter). When I first checked it was after a 5-10 minute drive, idling in park (directions on the stick) and no fluid on it.

Recently while I'm away during the week at work my Dad must have taken it for a drive and checked it. Said there was a little bit of fluid just on the tip and he added a quart. This weekend I'll double check the length difference still. Thanks.

Re: Transmission Dip Stick Help

I wonder if it's actually low on fluid. If mine is down a quart, it slips (off-idle when stopped), then grabs and away you go. I wonder if all TH350s act the same...
