How long is the transmission dipstick on a 04 tahoe? I ordered one from online, and it seems to short. I do not have the original to compare.

Make sure that you are using the correct oil for your car. To get an idea of how much oil you need; the gap between the marks on the dipstick usually represents around 1 litre of oil, so you know that if your oil mark was at the minimum, you need around a litre to top it up.

From the block deck surface to the "full" mark on the dipstick should be somewhere in the 10-7/8" to 11" range. I've compared dipsticks from several manufacturers, including genuine GM parts and several aftermarket pieces and they all fall in that range, with 10-7/8" being the most common measurement.

O2 sensor acts only to trim fuel curve so it should have no affect.

transmission oil is red pull the dipstick out & check the color, also the transmission dipstick is a lot longer than the engine dipstick......hope this helps.....cheers

to my knowledge, there is not dipstick on an 04 cavalier manual transmission just a sight hole that you fill until fluid runs out... as far as an automatic not sure

you put it down the dipstick tube.......yes i am serious....

There is no dipstick for a manual transmission. It is a drain and fill system that is on the bottem and bottem side of the transmission

could be modulator

there is no drain you just drop the trans pan. if there is too much fluid most oil change places have a vaccula that will pull fluid from the dipstick tube

There is no transmission dip stick... it is a sealed system and no service is necessary. If it's leaking, you'll need to have the seal replaced.

pull out the transmission dipstick and clean it, it should be written near the bootom of the dipstick
