Removed and overhauled transmission. Cant seem to fit the transmission dipstick...maybe forgot the orientation but im thinking it may have needed to be fit while mounting the tranmission?

If so, are the flexible kind ok? I really hate to drop this again..ugh!
Thank you all!

 

On my 89 S15 Jimmy the upper part of the dipstick tube attaches to one of the Bell Housing bolts and angles down to the transmission.
