grand cherokee 5.2 L & dipstick
 

A friend just bought a used 96 cherokee. Took back to the used car
dealer to look at a leak and when the mechanic pulled the stick he
couldn't get it back in no matter what.

Now the used dealer wants about $300 to $400 to pull the tubro off and
other stuff to "try" and fix the problem.

Any idea what could cause this type of problem and how this friend can
solve it?

Thanks
