Tranny fluid has metal in it
Hey guys, after I did a drain/fill with my transmission fluid I noticed that there were metal pieces that were drianed out with the old fluid. Is that normal? I also noticed that there are still some on the dipstick when i check the fluid level. I also noticed that there were little pieces of metal on the dipstick of my friends 2002 chevy tahoe with 30,xxx miles on it that he just bought... is it normal to have metal on the dipstick or in the old fluid or should i be scared?

Drop the tranny pan to be sure.
When I was working on swapping a VB from one max to mine, both of our cars had a lot of shavings collected on the magnet which is normal. Didn't see it in bulk. If its shavings that look liquified sorta, I wouldn't worry, but if they are chunks, I'd worry. Drop the pan to be certain and check what has collected in there.
