1956 BUICK SPEICAL RIVIERA DYNA-FLOW TRANS FILLER TUBE/DIPSTICK

[Guest mark wysatta]

NEED TRANSMISSION DIPTICK TUBE ASSEMBLY (OR AT LEAST A SCHEMATIC) FOR 56' BUICK SPECIAL RIVIERA DYNA-FLOW TRANSMISSION.

I have a 56 Buick Special RivIera, 2-door hardtop. I need a dipstick and the filler-tube for the Dyna-Flow transmission.

I have purchased a couple of different tubes --- one from an e-bay seller and one from J.C. Whitney. Neither one was correct. Fortunately, neither was too expensive. But, none the less I am still looking for the correct stick and filler tube for my transmission.

I am unable to measure the amount of fluid in my trnasmission. It was rigged with a heater hose clamped to the filler tube spout when I bought the car. It leaks a lot, so I have been only guessing at how much fluid is in the transmission.

I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY INFO. THANKS!

I hope this will help you a lot,the tube I measured is from 1955 but I compered with my 1956 an could´t see any differents about length.The dip stick is from my 1956.As you can see the tube is ending in the middle of spark plug cover against the cowl.

Thanks Leif -- I really appreciate you sending me the info and pictures. It will help me in my quest to find this piece. Because of your help I might be able to fashion the piece myself if necessary. Hope you're doing well with your Buicks. Thanks again, Mark

I was also looking for this information and parts. Anyone have another one avaliable? If not I can fab something from the great pics and dimensions.

I also need a trans shift arm or dimensions. The arm on the trans I have is too short.

Thanks much for the support.
