Re: [DML] Has this ever happened to anyone?

It's happened before.  The tab will catch on the case tube fitting and if
it's old and weak and you yank a little too hard, it breaks off.  There's
supposed to be a pretty strong magnet in the pan, so you're not likely to
get it out with another. It's not in the way of anything, so when it comes
time to service the transmission, you can drop the pan and retrieve the tab.
In the meantime, if you decide you want another dipstick, we got 'em. Part
number 110134, $38.84.

Subject: [DML] Has this ever happened to anyone?

So I was checking the fluid in my auto tranny today to make sure the
levels were good etc.  Warmed the car up, drove it around, brought it
back to the garage, put it in park, hit the e-brake, and left it
running.  I pulled the dip stick out, wiped it clean, stuck it back
in, waited a second, and pulled it back out to take a reading.  Lo and
behold the flat metal piece at the end was MISSING!  GDSOB!!!  How the
h3ll did that happen??
