    Went out to check all the fluids in the overland hemi, found that the trans dip stick/ tube was super floppy, loose as a goose. How does that happen? Can it be fixed by a regular dude like me? There is a notch in the plastics hemi engine cover for the tube to ride on but I’m not sure how far it’s supposed to stick out, afraid of getting a bad level reading with it like this, I can push it down past the engine cover where it looks to far down or pull it up so it looks to far up. Thank you

    Any trans dip sticks I've ever messed with should be fully inserted for accurate reading (hot/cold) and to keep dirt out.

    I just found where it’s either broken or come apart, it’s to hard to see exactly what’s going on but here are the pictures I could snap, looks either broke in half or pulled out of its place?
