Replacement OEM transmission dipstick

[jaredking733]

So, my trans dipstick has seen better days. It is bent and warped in such a way that it looks more like a line you would see on a road map rather than being relatively straight. After recently installing a B&M cooler and checking the fluid after topping off what I lost during the install, I'm pretty sure it may be time for a new one.

I don't want to risk it breaking off in the tube, as what happened to another member here. I found that post during a search about this topic and it sure doesn't seem pleasant.

Other than the dealer, do any of you have anywhere you would recommend to purchase a replacement dipstick from?

wI cant help you yet,
but I too am looking as mine is so bent up it is hard to put back in , it takes two hands, one to keep the dipstick straight and help push down, one on the handle pushing down
if I hear of another place I will let you know,
I wish I knew what a good one looked like, as I don't know how many bends , if any, it is supposed to have as I just got this 4runner
anyone got a picture ?

how much are they at the dealer ?
