later, Peter Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 keeps popping out of filler tube. Any suggestions to resolve (o ring)? or do I need to replace the dipstick... (no personal comments that I didn't already think of need apply). Thanks! later, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 How many miles are on the vehicle? You could try a new o-ring or I'm sure a new/used dipstick isnt that expensive...is the trans fluid overfilled at all? I would find it pretty hard to believe it just keeps popping out...they have a pretty good tight fit partially because of the length of the dipstick...

98obster Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 seems strange on an '02 but anything is possible. just for good measure take a peak at the AT vent to make sure it's not all gummed up. make sure the atf level is correct. just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorman68 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Maybe a clogged vent tube or hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
later, Peter Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 OK, here's the follow up.... It's my wife's car, I'm out of town & trying to diagnose/resolve over the phone... talked to her about the "vent tube syndrome" & so she took/brought the car to a mechanic she trusts... 1. NOT the at dipstick but the transaxle... B. he put a larger o ring on & refilled the case III. so far (2 days but our house is 40 miles round trip to town & like 60 miles r.t. to the mechanic) the stick is stuck. Hope this was the rightful answer... Thanks. Later, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
