Well this can't be good..

[TexasNomad]

Well I did my fluid change to day cracked open my Trans pan and...

Yeah about that...

Eeeeww getting worse.

Found this in the pan What the hell is it? I went ahead and changed the oil/filter then went for a drive and she ran fine no slip shift changes were smooth no noises or any thing.. So what on earth is going on and should I start running in circles and scream?

Up until the big metal piece, I wasn't overly concerned.. much of that is fairly normal for older trannies. The metal flake isn't great to see, but is not a major concern. The clutch material sediment is not a major concern as long as it isn't chunky... some is normal. How is the shifter feel? Only thing I can think of that the strap can come from is either the shifter detent or the parking pawl maybe, been a while since I was in a C6...

 

[TexasNomad]

The shifter feels fine I went through every gear and nothing felt out of place.

I was looking at this,and I can't see anything that resembles what you found in the pan.

The metal piece looks like some kind of support.Were those two bolts just in there too,or did you just throw them in the pan after you removed them?The other circular thing looks like some kind of seal.If it isn't affecting the way it shifts,then i'd say it wasn't something extremely important,but who knows what could happen in the long run....Either way,good luck on that Tex.lol.

I see the img codes in the " " so well see..

 

[Fellro]

I saw them earlier, but That ^^^^ is what I see now... did you by any chance move them around in your photobucket?

 

[john112deere]

Yeah...either you or Photobucket screwed 'em up, Tex.

I saw them earlier, but when I refreshed the page they're gone.

[mtflat]

They're there. I couldn't see them on IE, but opening the page with Firefox the pics come right up.......

Tex, if it runs fine, you didn't need them!!

 

[bigdaddyII]

Maybe that strap is something that was left in there last time the pan was dropped for a filter/fluid change.

 

[dragogt]

Holly chet I can seez them now.

 

[TexasNomad]

No, you can tell it snapped off form some place, but I can't see where from maybe some place deeper in the trans.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Maybe some joker put it in there just to scare ya?

 

[TexasNomad]

SOme body must really not like me...

 

[1985 Ford F-150]
