While changing spark plugs today, I broke off the top loop portion of the tranny dipstick right above the cap.
Is this reparable? Will it take a weld? Or JB weld? Or other ideas.
I'm also up for buying a new one, but I don't think they are available new.
Thanks, Scott.

Indeed, the dipstick will take a weld and continue to do its task. I suffered the same issue three years back, took the dipstick to a welding shop and had it welded. No issues since.
Regardless, enjoy the day.

Yes, the dipstick can be welded. I took mine to a pro. Didn't trust my own abilities on that one. IF you can find a replacement, it won't be cheap.
