Trick to checking dipstick?

[DARTHSHO]

i removed the air filter box to get to the transmission dipstick and I can’t get it out to check the level it’s like there is a bolt under the dipstick preventing it from coming out

Did you remove the bottom half of the air filter box and untwist the cap? Mine was a little stuck from beign closed and not checked in a while, but nothing crazy.

Yea just topped mine off you have to move the lower part out if the way. Took me a sec to find it not thinking it was a cap/dipstick

Removing the bottom half of the filter box can be challenging, but you have to pull HARD to get the darn thing off. It sure seems like it is bolted down, but it is not. Before you put it back together, be sure to put some dielectric grease in there so next time is much easier.

I don't see the dipstick in your pic. remove the entire airbox not just the snorkel

Don't pull the whole thing straight up. Try alternate corners one at a time instead. If I remember right, it's 3 posts on the airbox that slip into rubber bushings mounted in a steel plate.

I think my most hated feature of every car I've ever owned is the tranny dipstick and these cars take the cake there. I'd rather crawl under the damn car and open a petcock.

The dual intake makes it super easy.
