bluebird Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've been having my share of problems these past few days. This has never happened before, I decided time to check the auto trans fluid and the dipstick is stuck. Best I can do is get pliers on the yellow handle and turn it bit while trying to pull up. Very hard to turn and can just barely move it. Don't want to break it. anyone delt with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKFlight Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've heard of it before, maybe put some ATF fluid around the it and come back later on and see if you can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 yes, it happens sometimes. keep twisting it and pulling. start by twisting more and pulling less - just go nuts on it back and forth enough times that your neighbors call the police. if you get frustrated, quit and come back to it later. eventually it'll come out.

bluebird Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Many thanks for the suggestions. I squirted a bit of wd-40 around the dipstick, waited an hours and managed to wiggle it out with the pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
