Well I'm done with it... when I built this Jeep last year, I was forced to buy an aftermarket dipstick tube to replace the smashed one on my tranny, and it has never fit right... I've even tried larger o-rings to try and seal it, but short of RTV, nothing has worked, and I am having a hard time finding a stock replacement tube and dipstick.. does anyone know if the tubes in the TH350, or another GM auto will work? I would think they are close to the same, but I haven't really checked yet.

Help me out here!:chug:

Junkyards are slim around here, which is why I asked about compatability with other trannys.. I might have a few of the others laying around the shop and I know a few derby guys that run th350s, I just haven't had the chance to get there and check around.. I'm moving my CJ5s there next weekend so I can look then and see, I was just wondering if anyone knew...
