i have a 2001 4l80e transmission going into my gbody. I have all the swap accessories needed to complete the install, but my transmission did not come with a tube or dipstick. Do the original dipsticks and tubes work in our application or which aftermarket stick and tube are you guys using?

Wouldn't this be better in the Transmission sub-forum?
All that said, I bought this to try: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/sum-702210/overview/

Sorry didn’t mean to post here, I was on my phone... thanks for the good info
I used a ATI one, it is a locking one, but i cut the mounting tab and re-drilled it so it fit tighter to the trans
I used an F body tube. Just be sure to get the right stick with it (there are differences). Remember that a 4L80E needs 12-13 quarts depending on converter. Under filling it will fry the clutches.
Do you have a part number by chance? Locking meaning the stick locks onto the tube?
Ha, I was looking at that exact dipstick earlier while doing some shopping.
Did you "hang" the dipstick by the firewall before you put the trans in?
I don't remember for sure, but I believe I got the transmission lifted 3/4 of the way up and then stuck it in as I was lifting.
