Apologies, but this question is not quite comprehensible.

Maybe: Any tips on taking trans dip stick tube out?

Maybe: Any tips on taking trans dip stick tube out of the transmission that is rebuilt that I have already installed?

Maybe: Any tips on talking the trans dip stick tube I already have into installing itself in the rebuilt transmission?

We're going to need a clear description of the need so that we can assist. Could you try again?

Ah okay. Glad it wasn't a talking dipstick tube.

You should be able to fish it into place from the top and then climb under to put it in place on the transmission. It'* a pain but should work. I know folks replace them from time to time without involving major surgery.

You should tape over or cap the dipstick tube hole on the transmission until you're ready to install the tube, and same for both ends of the tube.
