Some of you may remember that I lost my 1 year old Manny Tranny last month due to low fluid. I suspected my dipstick and today I started getting ready to pull the tranny tomorrow. When I removed the dipstick tube I found this:

Obviously, about 1/4 of the O-ring is just plain missing.



Another possibility. The O-ring got nicked while inserting it and seperated.

I installed my tube with the front clip out of the GMC. It was a bit putzy to get it to seat correctly. With the trans installed it would be more difficult to feel if it went in correctly. It is, IMO, a wheel off and fender liner out job.
