trans fluid dirty / metal shavings ?, how much is normal ? Options

[Culpable04]

I drained my transmission today and found this






as you may be able to see, there are some brownish / bronze shavings floating around, not big enough to be felt by hand, and are not attracted to a magnet.

how concern should I be ?

trans drives fine, there is a little play from standing to get going, this is known as preload on drag racing and I've read that some play is normal, again not sure how much is normal.

I daily drive the car 90 miles a day, no issues.

it used to pop out of 4th gear and used to grind a litttle on 3rd gear, but I adjusted the clutch engagement point and pedal high and it all went away.

let me hear your input.

rust.

its not rust


that is normal for transmissions, you have all that gear mesh going at high speeds. use regular 80/90 gear oil. i dont see a point in spending crazy money for synthetic oil.
