transmission dipstick leaking. help...

[Hazieview]

So I filled my torque converter up with oil, slapped it on the trani, bolted the trani to the motor, and started to fill the trani up with fluid.

The guy swore to me the disptick would not leak and what does it do? It leaks.

So.... Should I just RTV the darn thing or rip out the cheap dipstick and buy the braided lockar dipstick.

I have a th350 and my engine has a lot of braided lines. What's one more? Suggestions?

Also how hard is it to replace the dipstick? Can I just yank the old one out and shove the new one in or is it more technical than my redneck approach?

thanks!
