Anyone replaced the seal on the automatic transmission dipstick pipe (lower)? The connection between the dipstick tube and the transmission? Is it the same seal like the one on the engine dipstick tube?

Yep, the oil dipstick tube and the transmission dipstick tube use the same sealing ring.

I would spend up on this seal, shell out the $5 for a factory one (e.g. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... 30637865oe or IPD probably sells them too).

I was trying to remove the automatic transmission dipstick tube in order to have more access to the lower starter bolt. I was able to turn the dipstick pipe around but I was not able to remove it. I unbolted dipstick's bracket (from harness and PNP). Stuck solid. Is there a secret to it? I was planning to replace the seal for the dipstick tube, but damn pipe does not budge. It moved upward just tiny bit. I thought that it's similar to the engine oil dipstick pipe...
Thanks
