Last night this median jumped out at me as i was making a turn. long story short, i've got a slightly bent rim, hole in my pan, and scraped up oil pan.
tomorrow i'm going to pick up a new transmission pan from the dealer ship for an amazingly fair price of 3X bucks. I took off my old pan and noticed that the magnets have those tiny metal shavings i've been hearing about, what does this mean? my transmission doesnt feel like it slips or hesistates too bad but sometimes i think maybe its shifting a little harder than it should or the shifts are a little delayed.
over all i think the transmission is fine but tell me what exactly im lookin at here please.



also, im about to do a transmission flush and following jimes how-to and i was wondering...since all my fluid is basically drained out already how do i go about doing the flush. im scared to start the car.

 

its normal to have shavings in there.. that what the magnets are for... on a funny not my looked like chia-pets.... my buddy's 240 looked worse than mine and had a small bolt in it.... hahahahahahah

 

flush it after the pans on and hte shavings are normal every tranny ive taken apart has them in it thats the reason for the magnet.

 

haha alright thanks man.
time to get crackin on my egr problem (too much crap goin on at once)

 

alright i'll flush it tomorrow i was just a little confused about the process. and how much exactly to put in there (how i know how much is still in there)

 

Jeez man..you need to learn how to drive !!!...

 

HAHAHA That away message was pretty cool. I hope you get everything sorted out dude.

 

Don't ya just hate when that happens.

 

i swear to god it did.
no reflective paint, no guidance turning lines to show you how far to go straight before you turn. it was a damn trap.
im lucky i didnt stay at my destination too long cause that pan was leakin pretty damn bad.

 

its gonna be on the road TONIGHT.

 

damn chillin014, you gotta watch out for road signs, medians, small animals etc.

Hope you get everything fixed.

 

Haha dude I need brighter headlights

 

I know what you mean. I've done it before and popped a tire.
