What I have Learned over the years.

Is,
The Dipstick tube needs to be correct (With the Correct O-Ring installed).

Once you installed the dipstick,
The tab on the Transmission Bellhousing (Needs ) should be pretty close when Installing that Bolt in the transmission .

Sometimes the tube gets bent and other times the tab gets bent.

Also the Correct diameter O-Ring needs to be use.

The tube needs to be in a Relaxed state without the o-ring.
To Further Explain:

The Dip-Stick Tube should go in?
Without any issues with the O-Ring not installed.

If You can NOT put the tube in without the O-Ring on it.

It will Most likely Not seal when you install the O-Ring.

Hope this Helps.
