BlueStag Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I'm the dingbat who put a Datsun Z engine in my Triumph Stag. I used a Maxima 4sp automatic, a L4N71B. When I did the conversion, about 12 years ago, I had to bend the dipstick tube rather a lot. I have trouble pushing the dipstick back in the tube. I'd like very much to get a new tube and try again, and keep the bends a bit smoother. Anybody got one for cheap? In Los Angeles would be golden.

BlueStag Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Again, this is a Maxima over drive automatic that I need a dipstick tube for. The tube off any 3sp trans's will not serve the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if one of those other auto's that use the OD box might have a tube and dipstick that would fit your needs? I would think the more you bend the tube, the less reliable the reading would be.

Good point, don't restrict to Maximas. Could find one at a pick your part. I think the length of the tube and stick are what matters more than the shape the tube needs to be to fit in the car. And while I'm at it, I should consider grabbing a whole trans in the event this one goes tiits up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
