[W126 Coupe] As dumb as a 560SEC dipstick ?

[Matt Petersen]

It's a common problem, luckily mine happened whilst the trans was out
being rebuilt so I can't answer your question.

Matt.

Yes that would be me - today I snapped 2 inches off from the bottom of
my 
TRANSMISSION dipstick - it is now sitting somewhere inside either the 
dipstick tube or has made its way into the tranny.......

Question is does anyone on  the list know for sure if the it can
actually 
enter the tranny and cause damage - or do I need to have the vehicle
trucked 
to the shop for removal.

Thanks in advance  - Rob

PS: I tried to cut the dipstick near the cap so I could just put the cap

back on - you wouldnt believe how hard it was to cut the darn dipstick -

ended up using bolt cutters....................of course snapping it off
by 
mistake was really easy - so be careful.
