Re: [T3] dipstick stopper


<x-charset iso-8859-1>GregM=> Isn't that the point of the stopper being

The dipstick does bottom out, that's why there's a spring in the shaft. I've
always taken that rubber piece to be just a bumper to keep the stick from
rattling in the tube. Mine's loose, too, but not loose enough to fall to the
bottom.
