ABSTRACT:
A flexible locking dipstick module useful with a motor vehicle transmission including a transmission case. A transmission dipstick is disposed within a housing which has one end thereof affixed to the transmission case and extends therefrom to a location within the engine compartment of a motor vehicle. Each end of the module includes a quick disconnect locking coupling providing for ready installation of the dipstick housing and its associated dipstick. Each coupling further provides protection against blow out of the dipstick in the event of inordinate build up of pressure within the transmission. Further, one portion of the outboard coupling may be employed as a liquid-tight closure for a dipstick entry opening in the transmission case during removal and/or storage of the transmission case.
