    Please can you photo and measure your dipstick!

    A strange request I know, but I need to compare your length to mine! LOL. I'm talking about the automatic transmission dipstick of course. I have a theory about a noise from my auto here;

    http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...4684#post54684

    and want to check if my dipstick is original and the correct length. Please could you photo your dipstick so I can see if it's the same and/or take the measurement as in the picture attached (from the cap to the upper hot fill mark).

    Many thanks

    Hery Boggy, I have just had a look a the service manual for the GQ and there is no mention of the max length that the dipstick should be in the schematics. Although if we ring the Nissan Service department they would be able to let us know. That would tell you if you have a dipstick that is within manufacturers specifications.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Good onya Scotty. I was gonna take a pic, but I am a tad flaccid atm, besides I don't think I really want to expose myself to you bunch of pervs.

    Oh sorry I should read things a little better. This is about the auto trans dipstick.

    hmm, lots of threads about dipsticks, but mainly referring to people! Will keep searching
