My tranny died last week, I drove to a Home Depot to do a friend a favor, he wanted me to drive my wagon so he could load a new kitchen sink in it and I was to deliver it with him to the destination.
The car drove fine on the way and I parked and came out with the sink, loaded it and started the car, to find no gears, no fwd and no reverse

The car just barely moved on its own, just far enough for me to find a better parking place where a tow truck could latch onto the rear wheels.
I walked back to where it was parked and looked for any sign of trans fluid on the pavement, seeing none I called my friend who owns a Indy shop a few miles away.
He suggested checking the fluid level, I put the fone in my pocket and proceeded to raise the hood to the vertical position and reached in and moved the locking lever on the dip stick over and proceeded to yank, pull and curse when the lever suddenly broke off in my hand!

The car was towed to the shop and Monday it was determined it was a candidate for a full rebuild.
Was informed that nothing on the valve body was at fault, it was a band or some clutch that broke and left the trans in Neutral permanently.

Now I have the car back with a fine MZF rebuild in it but the dip stick is still the old one with the busted locking lever.
Not finding it available on the online database at a dealer. maybe NLA?
has anyone got a dipstick in their stash?
