Transmission Leak - Dip Stick Assembly

[smallbrian]

Looking for advice: Have a '03 4Runner, V6, 4wd.

Found leak spots on the garage floor and did some investigating. Turns out, the transmission dip stick assembly has two parts: one piece is actually pressed on to the tranny reservoir --- the other piece of the dipstick assembly is attached to the block with a small bracket.

Long story short, where these pieces come together is where I am getting a leak. Visited the parts dept at the dealer and found out that the dipstick assembly I have is not stock...Now I need a new dipstick assembly ($80). Trying to save a buck here but haven't found any salvage yards locally that have it. Any leads on internet dealers that might have it?

NOTE: I do not need the part pressed on to the tranny, just the piece where the dipstick actually goes in.

Do you need the $3.13 o-ring shown as part 35336?

Purchased the O-ring... $5. Good thought... Turns out the assembly (35013) is the problem. Thanks for the parts breakdown... couldn't find this!

I have used these guys a few times with good results. http://www.toyotapartscenter.net/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214591 There are others.

I just put in part# 3501360260 and it came back as $39.94. By the time it's to the door I would think it's be under $50.

I'd go back to that part catalog site: http://www.toyodiy.com/ , plug in your VIN to confirm the part # and just let Olathe Toyota send it to you.
