Re: Ultramatic Transmission Pan Substitution

That project is on my list for this winter already, I've been looking at the same pix that Howard shows for ideas. There are also (well, should be and I'll find them) universal flexible dipsticks that would fit in a custom-formed tube mated with a modified cap as Howard describes.

I already fill my transmission through the vent fitting using the access hole in the tunnel, easier than crawling under the car and pumping fluid in. That way you don't have to worry about having a large enough tube to also use as a filler port. Although I think newer transmissions did away with that port, from pix I've seen? If I can fix my leaking seal at the actuating lever (another winter project) perhaps I won't need to add fluid anymore anyway. Dare to dream.
