    good day mga bros, tanong ko lang sana about a/t dipstick.

    my car is a matic civic '99. just the other day, sinubukan kong silipin yung dipstick nya to check the fluid. medyo matagal-tagal na rin kasi hindi nasilip kaya medyo matigas na sya bunutin. when i replaced the dipstick after i checked, napansin ko parang medyo maluwag na sya pag suot ko ulit.

    compared kasi sa engine dipstick na parang may "hold" sya pag binalik mo yung dipstick, dito sa a/t dipstick parang loose sya when i replaced. i inspected the dipstick itself, ok nman sya, wala nman natanggal or any sign of damage.

    worry ko lang kasi baka malaglag sya eventually. is this normal ba? what should i do kaya?

    as always, dami kong natutunan dito sa mga car forums na tulad nito, salamat ng marami master jedis!

    Ganyan din yung A/T dipstick nung dati kong '96 Civic VTi nung kabibili ko lang 2nd hand, medyo maluwag sya pag hinugot. For a while ginagawa ko pinupunasan ko basahan yung rubber part nya bago ko ipasok sa butas para mas kumapit. Hindi naman sya natatangal or naglileak. Eventually bumili ako ng bagong dipstick sa Honda, around P200+ ata back then (2002 or 2003). Medyo humigpit na sya hangang sa binenta ko kotse last year.
