Looking for proper tranny dipstick

As the title says, I am trying to find the proper tranny dipstick for the LFX and having a hard time finding the correct one.

If anyone has specific brands and part numbers that they have successfully used that would be greatly appreciated.

There is no dipstick for the transmission on our V6.

I know there is no dipstick, I'm looking for an aftermarket dipstick. Just because GM wanted to save a few bucks doesn't mean the car does not need one. I don't want to have to go under the car to check my fluid level.

I have never seen or heard of anyone being able to add a dipstick to our trans. I will be following this thread just in case one comes across for us.

I'm pretty sure ones for the 6L80 work. I googled it out of curiosity and someone used one for a 6L80 in their 6L50 Colorado. I also can't imagine someone else hasn't tried it yet on a Camaro.

Will do, but it will be a few months. The car is a lease and if I continue to have no issues thru June then I will buy it out and start putting money into it. So mid summer would be the earliest.
