I got my oil changed on my 95 civic (77K miles). They checked the auto
transmission fluid and noticed that the dipstick was chewed up and had been
grinded.

Is this common and does anyone know the cause and solution?

Maybe the previous owner lost the dipstick, and substituted one that
wasn't the right length, and had to shorten it? ?

Maybe he used it to push the vegetables into his health-food juicer ? I
dunno. :-)
