The head of my transmission dipstick is gone! I still have the stick but it is broken off just above the 'pinches'. Trying to locate a replacement has proven fruitless. Local dealers can't get it and the boneyards won't part them from sellable trannys they have, reasoning if they pull the stick the trannys will fill with water.

Anyone have a source for one of these? The truck is a 96 F250 4x4, 5.8L with a E4OD tranny. Thanks!

 

here ya go:
E4OD Transmission One Piece Dipstick and Tube

 

try a local trans shop ?

 

My son's tube broke at that bracket. We found one at a pick and pull jy and paid.... $5 for the tube and dipstick.

 

Thanks guys! I don't know how you found that link 'cause I've been looking and came up empty every time. It's fifty bucks delivered and I'll do it if I have to, but I think I'll wait until I get a chance to hit the pick and pull lot--it's about 90 minutes each way tho!

 

do you know if this dipstick will be the same length for a 94 7.3 idi turbo?

 

that question waqs for the link provided above for the tranny dipstick and tube for sale

 

Did you try a Ford dealer? I ordered an engine oil dipstick for a 1990 F-150 less than a year ago.
