If you are not familiar with how to remove the dipstick Tranny Tube from the transmission, the process is easy once you know how. In this article, you’ll learn how to get it out and replace it. But if you have never done this before, you’ll want to pay close attention to the instructions provided with your vacuum cleaner. After all, the tubes are made from recycled coke cans and can be quite expensive!
Removing the dipstick tube from the transmission
First of all, you need to remove the dipstick tube from the transmission. You can do this from the engine bay or underneath the car. People should use a long 9/16″ wrench to remove the tube, a quarter turn at a time. You can also freeze the dipstick tube before installing it. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Taking care not to damage the transmission fluid, the tube must be completely free of water, oil, or other materials.
Once you’ve removed the oil dipstick, you can easily replace it with a new one. A new dipstick should match the exact same specs as the old one. In some cases, the dipstick tube may be stuck. When this happens, it may be best to buy a new dipstick, as it will fit your car better. The oil dipstick tube is a delicate part and may break easily if you don’t use a tool designed for this purpose.
Removing the dipstick tube from the car’s transmission may require some technical knowledge. A damaged dipstick tube may result in oil leakage, or worse, seizing of the transmission. Luckily, most vehicles are equipped with a tool that allows you to replace the dipstick tube with a new one. You may also have to remove the transmission if the transmission is leaking oil. But be careful!
Getting it out
Getting the Tranny Tube dipstick tube may seem like a difficult process, but it’s actually not as difficult as you think. The best way to do it is to apply pure vertical force, as opposed to twisting or rocking it out by hand. Because the dipstick tube is curved, this means that the ‘by hand’ method always adds more twisting and rocking force. The best way to do it is by applying vertical force above the point where the ATF Dipstick Tube enters the Transmission.
Transmission Pan
The first step is to remove the transmission pan. This pan will expose a hole in the front right corner of the transmission. Once you have reached the hole, fish out the remnant by using a coat hanger with a long hook. Repeat this step until the dipstick tube is free. Once you have removed the transmission pan, you can remove the Tranny Tube dipstick. Replace the oil dipstick.
To replace your dipstick tube, you can find one of many ways online. Some are more difficult than others, however. Here are three tips to help you replace your dipstick tube.

Next, use a long 9/16 wrench to unscrew the seal, and then carefully slide the dipstick tube back into place.
Final Words:
Then, make sure you have plenty of ATF. This is important to prevent leaks. You should also avoid putting any objects on top of your engine.

Getting the Tranny Tube dipstick tube back in properly requires you to follow a few steps. And remember to read the instructions carefully!
