Re: Tranny fluid dipstick

[Roland Broberg <broberg@execpc.com>]

Craig,
I made mine from aluminum rod, 5/32".  Flatted the end with a hammer,
added two level marks with a chisel, bent the top to a T shape and then
took it to the dealer to comare with the one I mentally copied from the
day before. How did I get the marks right, you ask?  Well I had the
service gent check the fluid and remembered the mark spacing was about 1
inch and where the oil showed on his stick.  Made mine to match.  I was
within 1/8 inch on all marks which I then corrected.  Mine is for a 90
V8, but if the same I'd be happy to measure and give you the specs. 
Dealer said they would order one if I needed it.  Brookfield Motor Cars,
Brookfield, Wisconsin.
