I had ALOT more metal shavings on the magnets than the OP, but i didn't have all the chunks he had. I was NOT optimistic at all once i got that pan down, but someone up there was looking down on me and I feel very blessed that I've dodged this bullet, and its running properly, if even for a short time.

So in dodging this transmission bullet, it gave me enough push to go order her replacement. All i need is for this transmission to hold together till aug when she's getting traded off when my new car comes in. THEN i'll sell the salvage transmission.. haha. I want it gone before i do though.
