TTA vs. GN transmission oil dipstick and tube ... big differences or not?

[Jan Larsson]

As per the title ... if someone got one of each and could compare would be great ... not sure if lenght, bends, bracket position is totaly different or if they are very similar (or not) for the dipstick tube ...

Also is there's a major difference (lenght, markings, the "twist", handle) when comparing the dipsticks to each other?

 

[Grumpy]

different. I forget exactly. If I am down it the parts dept Ill try an find em.

Tube is same. Diptick is different.

Unless Dan "shows me"

Julio that would be great if the tube is the same .... anyone got the original GM part number for it as it's not listed in my books for some reason ...

Dan when in the parts department next any chance you could check both the tube and the dipstick and compare and snap some photos?

Doc, if you could that would be great ... and if you got a TTA version to sell me that would be even better

Jan, when I dropped the trans from my TTA the tube got fubared, I compared it with a spare from my GN motors that I have laying around. The bends are similar but in different places. After fighting and cursing the GN tube for about 2 hours I straightened the TTA tube as much as possible and reused it. They are different, not saying it won't work, but I couldn't do it.
Good luck!
