TH 350 Dipstick Length
Can anyone tell me the actual length of the stock dipstick that comes on a early 80's TH 350 transmission for my Silverado?
I'm tired of people trying to sell 10 different length's for a dipstick, that probably won't work correctly. Thanks Jack |

If it wasn't midnight I'd go measure mine. If nobody answers by tomorrow I'll let you know.

Re: TH 350 Dipstick Length
I took my old one into Advance Auto and matched it up with one they had in stock. If you go by the fitment on the package, it will be wrong. I can't remember what the package said for the fitment, but it wasn't right. But I went by matching it with what I had, and it was exact. But from top to bottom, it is 21 3/4".

Re: TH 350 Dipstick Length
That looks like the Oil Dipstick, The transmission dipstick has a double twist at the end that you read to see if it's full. I know it's longer than that. But thanks
I would like to know the length (Or close) of the casing that holds the dipstick too. |

Re: TH 350 Dipstick Length
This what you're looking for?
Overall length is about 35 inches from tip to the handle.  Then here is a picture of the reading level on it.  I tried to measure the casing but its such a tight place and it has bends. Sorry Last edited by Zach079xxx; 09-25-2015 at 10:30 AM. |

Re: TH 350 Dipstick Length
If you don't already have the dipstick tube, remember that its specific to 73-87 pickups. I tried several TH350 tubes from other GM vehicles and none would fit right until I was able to find one that came of a 78 C10.

Re: TH 350 Dipstick Length
When the guy installed my new engine he threw away the old dipstick because it had a hole in it about 2 inches above the tranny, so I don't know what it looks like.
