All,

I just ordered a dipstick for transmission from Ebay for $12 USD (including shipping) from a seller in England.

Here is the link-

MERCEDES 722.6 TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TOOL E430 C230 S55 SPRINTER CROSSFIRE JEEP | eBay

I had the transmission fluid changed this past week and just wanted to measure it to see if the levels were right.

My 2004 Xfire has 56000 miles and I was noticing a spot on the garage floor here and there. The transmission would also shift funny once in a while so thought of getting the pan dropped and getting the fluid, filter and the gasket changed.

The parts- 5 quarts of Mopar tranny fluid, Transmission filter and Gasket were over $200 plus my mechanic charged me $100 in labor. He also changed the O-ring part as well. The car is running like a charm now.

Cheers..

Paul

So the one az2md ordered is the wrong one? I don't know, I'm just curious...

 

No, it is just homemade. All you need is a device to measure the fluid level from the bottom of the pan at a certain temperature.

I bought the same one about a year ago for about $8 shipped, works perfectly!

Using Waldig's zip tie design and the sizes shown in post #8 you can make your own and save.

In fact you could make your own from anything flexible and able to go down the filler hole.

 

I'm glad to know that I ordered the right one then

Regardless of any dipstick you use, this chart is what you need to get an accurate level





To anyone purchasing the homemade dipstick, I would like to see a measurement of the lines they recommend.
