Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

[BrooseDaMoose]

This may be a little extreme, but could there be a trap door made in the floor pan to access the trans dipstick? Back in my Army days we had a truck that was manufactured with this type of door in order to easily check the fluid level.

I guess anything is possible but as you can see in this photo, there is not much room. You would have to get creative.

Unbroken is always straight to the point with no bs. He has tons of knowledge & has earned a ton of respect from other members on here. If he says it will not fit then believe him. But hey that is my opinion. Buy the part & see if it will work out or not. Cheers

There is no part to buy and try. This is about someone making one custom for the explorer.

Uhhh…go read post #1. This whole thread is literally about buying and trying that part.

Actually, it's about both. OP inquired about the part. RayJay recommended a custom.

I would like to go a step further. I'm thinking more of a sending unit that will tap into the dipstick housing. It would not only relay the fluid level to a gauge but will also double as a thermostat to make sure the temp is within spec for the reading.
Although, there is already a temp sending unit for the fluid but you need an OBDII to digitally read it.
