That was an option but it wouldn't arrive until today so I told the guy last Friday I'll give him another $100 to do it by Sunday. I'm still under $1000 for the whole swap with install after I sold the 60E so whatever. Now I just need to swap this loose *** converter....ha

I re-reinstalled my trans when I first time forgot to put in the dipstick tube after researching a flexible replacement. I read that the flexible tubes have a too small inside diameter, causing it to be super slow adding fluid. I think that the stock tube takes too long to add fluid and I didn't want less flow than that.
