I'd be willing to have this shipped out for you.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/pts/610675047.html

Although you would need to do a top-swap on it to get the 94-95 M62 on it.

There are TONS of s1 L67'* around here at the yards also. Shipping should be around $500

Paul, I've checked all the diagrams in my fsm and the only thing thing I can see that could possibly be it is the lip on the filter seal..

You don't mention how big in diameter your parts are, but I'm sure nothing anywhere near that size would have gone through the filter.

curious :?

In the Pic above are the Thrust washers that come in a 4T60-E rebuild kit... If you find those in the pan its bad news...


How would pieces of those get through the filter? Or can they drop down from inside without going through the filter? I didn't pay too much attention when I had my pan off.

It was the thrust washers that were found in the pan of my 95 by the rebuilder.

The fluid is filtered as it gets pulled from the pan, not as it comes out of the tranny. I think...

There was a hint of colour in it but it look like it hadn't been changed in a while.

And look what was in the pan. What is that thin circular plastic piece from.

I found 3 more pieces inside the filter.


Either sucking in or blowing out through the filter, howd the pieces get in there?

The pieces had dropped into the pan and some were sucked into the inlet (outside) screen of the filter.

Oh well. :? It may not be long for this world but it will still work for the next year until Victor saves up enough to pay another $2,500. for a trani rebuild.
It will give Victor some incentive to take it easy on the new engine when it is done.

He doesn't want to be without it for another couple of months.

If it makes you feel any better, my dad and I found bits of thrust washers in his tranny pan on an old 89 Bonne, and that tranny ran for around 2 more years..didnt run perfect but it ran. Might not be the end of the world but i would keep a rebuild in the back of my mind...
