Length of Dipstick on 2000 4runner
I needed a new transmission dipstick for my 2000 limited 4x4 4runner so I ran to Pull A Part this morning. I grabbed one off a 1997 with the same engine. 3.4 v6. It fits fine with a little twisting , but after checking my fluid it is saying its low. I used the correct procedure (Car running shift slowly through gears and check while running.)
Now I am wondering if the dipstick is shorter for the 97. Could someone with a 2000 measure their's quick and let me know what it is?
Thanks

Yes sir.
Edit: I just checked the parts diagrams for both models from the site in your sig and they are the same part number so that is good.

I have a 98 a340f and from the bottom of the dipstick to the top notch is 9 inches. ( cough, that's what she said) Don't know if the year difference matters. Thought it might help.

Dang 9"!! Mine is only 5 1/2 to the top notch. I feel like less of a man. I never saw my original so i dont know what it was.

Double checked , I have 2 marks on the cool notches about 4 and 5 inches from the bottom, the the hot notches are at 8 and 9 inches . My dipstick top is orange if that helps ya at all

Weird. I wonder why they are different? I hope my fluid level is correct. I ended up adding some to make it right according to my dipstick. Although if i had yours i would have had to add more to get to the marks.

That is weird, I took a few picts of mine , I didn't take picts on the cold down low. But there about 5 inches, I have 4 notches total on my dipstick. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...310_190312.jpg

OP, are you sure the dipstick from the '97 and the 2000 A340F are the same part number? I glanced quickly and they look like different part numbers....I may be wrong though.

No im not sure. I might just have to get a new one so i make sure i get it right. I ended up adding fluid and its driving fine, but i would hate to cause damage because of overfilling it.
