    PK - that's either an AU mod or a difference between the 3.2 and 3.5L engines/trans. The US version has a GM trans - I'm not sure about the JDM version but I suspect it may be different.

    A '97 will have the 3.2L DOHC and Aisin transmission which has the dipstick tube.

    There are aftermarket dipstick tubes available for the 4L30E, you just have to find somewhere on the firewall or fab a bracket to mount it then you need to calibrate and cut the dipstick to the proper length. The only place I've seen these is at hot-rod and speed shops.
