Rust on transmission dipstick???
I'm not sure if this is a rare problem or not. Recently I went to check my transmission fluid on my 96 4.3L blazer with the 4L60-E transmission. Well surprisingly my dipstick was completely brown. It had surface rust from the top all the way to the bottom of the stick. I'm a little concerned this could mess with my transmission... What usually causes this? And where could I go to find a new dipstick after I fix the problem & change the fluid? Thanks.

I have seen it before as stated above I also beleive its condensation.Unless you had your dipstick out for a while and it rained or snowed theres no other way water can get inside your trans unless you case cracked.Dont read anything into that last statement Im just saying.
