5r55 dipstick solved

[drive it sideways]

This is an idea I've had for some time which I would love to see available as an aftermarket product.
To my knowledge , it does not exist and I'm not certain it is possible but if anybody knows of such a device described below , please share. How about an aftermarket trans pan with the only difference from OEM being a fiting for a fill/dipstick tube . If it is possible to fix this major issue of not having a dipstick on these trannys by simply swapping the pan with a redesigned one , well , lets get cracking . feedback is appreciated, thanks .

They make about 3 different pans that have a dipstick(atleast for the 5r55s,5r55w and 5r55n). In regular size and a over sized unit..not cheap at all though. .

This is the deep pan..$306
