Guest mark wysatta Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 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.
