Hello, not sure if this has been asked before but today after checking my oil transmission level. Which the oil level was fine, still a red pink(have never really smelled the fluid thought to see if it smell burnt, replaced it about 5,000 miles ago) my dip stick crack on one side near the 3 curves. Tried to bend it back and it broke. Are there any places that happen to sell new ones or anyone that has a extra. My eagle is a 1984 Sedan with the 4.2 straight six. Transmission is the Chrysler 3-speed auto.
Also just wondering what fluid is best. I am using a brand from o'really's that says it is certified for all Dextron II and III brands. Thanks for the help.
Would something like this work?

www.ramblerparts.com have them.
Part #16-5483 $16.50
It's often same price and faster to order one from a local transmission shop like I did.
Go aftermarket with a Lokar one. I would've put one from a Dodge van in my wagon. It bring it up next to the valve cover.

really. I thought it would only accept specific ones. Could you list a page for the Lokar one?

$60 for a dipstick!? Spend less and as a bonus you keep the Eagle as it left the factory.
Like I said, those prices aren't so hot. I just didn't have time to look them up on one of the hotrod sites.
