And yes that would make me go WTF? So wtf did you do to it?

Thats not a good sound.

This is what that sound looks like in the bottom of the tranny pan and around the magnet.

The other sound of course is Ka-Ching$ Estimated repairs $3300. Apparently the pin that holds the planetary gear popped off and then the gear slipped....that's probably the grinding noise I heard.

Good news....I bought extended warranty coverage when I bought the truck new in November 2004. :D

Ya, that looks as bad as it sounds.

WOW!!! Look at all those pretty filings arranged in a purdy geometric order. So Kevin, which way is North?? Lucky we can see some semi humor in it with the extended in place. A sound investment when buying new.

Thats a lot of shavings. Good thing you got the warranty

Those magnets really do work good and do the best they can to keep metal shavings from pistons, seals and valve bodies. I checked the transmission fluid with a white rag wipe, and there were absolutely no metal pieces transferred.

The thing that's funny about this is that I completely forgot about my extended warranty until I after I got the call on the damage and the estimated repair bill. I was going to ask Mike to borrow one of his pink get up's, then throw on some lipstick and go out whoring for cash! Good thing I found that warranty.....I couldn't live with the shame............of wearing Mike's pink clothes of course!
