[W126 Coupe] Dip stick

[Ronny 560sec]

Chet,
I measured this morning the oil level of the 560 SEC tranny and had no oil indication. Then I remember your email that I still have.
I have also a 1984 300SD and took out the dip stick from that car. I put the two sticks beside each other and the SEC stick had broken at the max line.
And the broken part must be somewhere in the tranny pan, I guess.
I also notice that the dip stick slides easy into tube holder of the 300 SD, and it is very difficult to get that same stick into the tube holder of the SEC.
That means I have to replace also the holder of the stick.
I already want the tranny to be lowered, because the outside sealed connections are starting to leak and need to be replaced.

In that case, what is the actual length of the tranny dip stick AND are they all the same length???  There are enough pick-your-part yards with bad 560 engines that someone could possibly grab one for Ronnie.  What year???

  I can't help wondering how those lines could have worn off.  They are scribed into the metal and that would mean something had to wear that metal down to erase those lines..  Which then leads me to ask where did those metal filings go?   In the tranny?

   

  Unless the end of the dipstick broke off at the MAX line..  Does the end of the d/s still have the curled end?  If not where's the broken end?

  The tranny dipstick of my 560 SEC does not show the min. and max. line anymore.

  Anny advice buying a new one?
