Question How do I remove the dip stick thats connected to the transmission pan tryed with 2 crescent wrenches no luck turning the dip stick nut counter clockwise and the transmission bolt clockwise no luck. Also got the transmission kit from napa only came with one small gasket for the filter but the old one has 2 gaskets should I have 2 gaskets in the kit as well. Thanks
Answer Bradley,
Most times that tube is stuck. We take out the pan and the tube as one unit. Remove the starter bolts. There is a pan gasket and a filter gasket. If the filter has two gasket and the kit has two use them. If not use one. A filter kit with gaskets is about $19.00.
