Blowing Out Dipstick (Poly Mounts)
Monday, July 15, 2013 7:55 AM
Has anyone experianced this problem.... For some reason unknown to me i keep blowing out dipsticks on my 98 5spd.... Ive tried 3 dipsticks and everytime i hit second at the drag strip i blow out the dipstick.... My cure has been a couple zip ties around the speedo sensor but its kinda hokey..... Anyone????

How's your pcv setup? Seems like there's serious crank case pressure that has nowhere to go.

agreed. Put a boost/vac gauge in there youll find out quick.

5spd trans dipstick is blowing out the back (Isuzu i believe) not oil dipstick and this started after i did the poly mounts.... maybe a kinked vent tube but i dont see how a kinked vent tube would cause this

Is the transmission over filled?

always filled to the middle of the hash marks not quite to full..... because thats what i thought and it didnt make a difference it blew it

Its not the poly mounts..

I cant recall on the isuzu but if its got a fill cap make sure the vent holes are open.

I know on the Getrag you put 2 or 2.6 qt of oil and thats all. I

Did you get a new dipstick or a junkyard one?

It's gotta be the vent. Let us know what you find.

Ended up being i unhooked the vent tube when i did the trans mounts and it fell below the dipstick line so it was pressurizing the case rather then the vent line hooked it up and it hasnt happened again
