I finally resolved the issue of no dipstick and dipstick tube for the new transmission. A guy in Houston from one of the other forums managed to track two dipsticks and dipstick tubes down for me.

This turned into a two and a half month long ordeal. Part numbers changed between '97, '98 and early '99. I originally thought it was a 'superseded by' thing, but based on his pics it looks like the tubes and dipsticks are actually different.

My suggestion? Make sure you get the dipstick and tube with the transmission. frown
