Transmission Dipstick Length?
Just flushed my 2004 E500 4matic with the 5 Speed. I honestly don't want to buy a transmission dipstick for $50 unless I have to. Does anyone happen to have one and wouldn't mind measuring it for me so I can fab one up myself? Or does anyone happen to just have the measurements so I can work off of that? Thanks!

I paid $55 for one, it's worthless! Used 3,4 times could never figure out where the fluid level was. I ended up just measuring how much I took out and put the same amount in.
