I need a flexible dipstick & tube for my conversion and somewhat perplexed by what is available.
I tried a 727 transmission tube & dipstick LOKAR part # TD-3727FM36 which is a 36” long tube however the dipstick is too short and does not exit the tube or protrude into the pan when fully seated.
I returned the part as defective because it will not be able to read the fluid level in the pan, after much dialog with the seller they suggested I contact LOKAR TECH which I did and was told the dipstick does not protrude out of the tube on a 727 application.
Well, I’m more even confused than ever while looking at the 727 transmission case and a 47RH case and I can’t see any difference where the dipstick tubes enter the case (s) or how deep they sit in each case.
Using LOKAR TECH explanation the transmission dipstick does not protrude from the tube on a 727 application means to me that I would have to overfill the transmission fluid in order to register anything on the dipstick or, “am I missing something?”
