For those members, which I hope are none, this is what happens when you neglect your transmisson.

This is the magnet in the pan, that catches the metal. Id say this guy was on overtime. This transmission was shot from 3rd on. My newly rebuilt tranny is going in very soon.

 

 

later

I suspect the one in my 90 is going to look very much like that when I swap it out. (Mine lost 3rd and OD on the trip home from the dealer - having been just fine on test drives and the fluid looking fine as well.)

 

 

the fluid that came out of this thing smelt so bad, and was so dark brown/black wasnt even funny

I have a suspicion that the dealer may have changed the fluid as a matter of course before I bought it. I don't necessarily think that they were trying to cover up anything per se, I think they just changed all the fluids so as to be able to sell it with "oil changed" as a feature.

I am more concerned about the foul smelling black fluid that came out then the furr on the magnet. I too have seen more furr on a magnet, but the foul smelling black Auto transmission fluid, That indicates Impending DOOM.

What sort of 'self service' can a guy do with minimal experience with autos. Just drain and change the fluid?? Is there not a filter anywhere (presumably inside?) that needs changing or is the magnet all you get?

 

Bare with me and be gentle, I am on my first import. :)

the filter is inside. If you remove the pan, you should see it

Hey Josh let us know how everything goes on the swap!!

Floonster, as k9 said your filter is inside the tranny, under the pan. There is a how-to on auto trans service you should check out!! Keep hanging around this site and we'll have you bumped up from a screw driver mechanic to a multi box(all full of tools)do it your-selfer in no time!!! :tongue:
