Default FMX tranny dipstick

Can someone out there with an FMX measure their dipstick for me?
Length into the tube and diameter where it seals on the tube.
Thanks

Just so happens mine is on the floor ATM, but there is a river flowing through my front yard. As soon as the rain lets up and the flash flood ends in the driveway, I will go out and get a measurement for you.

Yeah mine is MIA, not sure if it was even there when I tore the car apart. its not something I worry about. Considering I dont have any other FMX transmissions sitting around up here, I will need to know how long the dipstick needs to be and where the marks are on it.

I just went out and measured mine from my 69 Mach1 and it measures as follows

Tip to seal 19 1/2 in.
Tip to ADD : 1 1/2 in.
Tip to FULL : 2 1/8 in.

Let me know if you need any more measurments

Awesome first post albrntt, that's the spirit of these forums.
Could you tell us the inside diameter of the seal 'cup' and is there a rubber seal there?
We may need to use a brand "C" stick and modify it if we can't find direct replacements...

The inside diameter of the seal cup is 7/8 in.
There is a seal and it is 3/4 in.
The measurement from Tip to seal that I gave you would need to add 3/8 in to make up for the distance from the seal to the inside of the seal cup.
