Dear jd620,
Hope you're well and stay so. The transmission pan's dipstick - unlike the oil pan's dipstick (pulls straight out) - needs to be turned to remove it.
There's nothing at the bottom of the transmission pan dipstock, that would snag anything, much less the thin multi-strand wire kick-down cable.
As to the Elring transmission filter and gaskets, Elring parts #998.301 and 998.301PB correspond to Volvo kit #271694. These kits are for AW70 and AW72 trannies. The kit for the AW71 tranny is Volvo #271693.
The Elring Kit part number - #998.301PB - is, I think, a typographical error: the P and B are transposed (pun intended).
Hope this helps.
Yours faithfully,
Spook
