I ended up buying a thinner extension bar (1/4" I believe) and it slid right through it. I just had the bolt on the opposite side when screwing it in. I torqued it 10ft#s using a Moroso blue gasket and Derale cooling pan. The Lokar dipstick, I just tightened it enough despite the manual saying 20#s. I was scared that it may crack the shell of the transmission. I'm hopefull that the thick gasket wrapped around the end of the dipstick tube will be sufficient enough to prevent leaks from seeping out.
