Did you ever figure out the dipstik tube? I am in the middle of working on dropping the pan so I can do the pressure mod. I got the front two bolts out and now I see the dipstick. I can not tell how this tube is attached. Any help would be appreciated !!!
EDIT: I figure it out. For future reference: the dipstick tube is not attached to anything. Once I got the pan separated, the tube also come off. It takes a lot of pressure to separate the pan due to the factory sealant. A lot more pressure than I thought it is needed.

It is mid-60s today, so I took her out for a quick drive with the top down. I was going to spent sometime installing the Megan coilover, but the weather is just too nice to be working in the garage.
Before the mod, I notice when I launched the car, the tranny has a little but noticeable lag. I figure some of it is probably due to the old dark fluid. Today, after the mod and transmission fluid flush, she shifted smooth and I did not notice that lag. I only launched the car several time, stop to ~40mph. Absolutely more fun to drive! The rest of the time, I just cruise around... winds on my hair

Well if it's anything like my GS300, the only real option is to drill through the bracket to fit a socket in. No extension was flexible enough. No wrench, crows foot or socket would reach. On my car it was a bracket covering the one corner bolt. Drilled one big hole to fit a 10mm socket.
And 2) on my GS the dipstick tube is about 2 feet long and it goes inside the tube coming out of the tranny. There's a rounded l shaped tube coming upward at a forward angle and the junction is 3 to 5 inches above the corner of the l shape. You have to find a section that looks like it telescopes into another section, and bang the male end with the end of a breaker bar or something else (like tapping a pickle jar) to free it. Then pull upward.
