My transmission experience is with old Borg Warner overdrives in Fords of 1950's.
I've never had apart a modern automatic transmission.
We changed the oil in son's automatic transmission today, a 2001 Ford Explorer (4.0l v6 4wd) .
Oil was dirty , but no bronze or metal shavings in filter just the fine powder-sludge you expect to find on the magnet.
But we found five of these little discs in the bottom of the pan. They're non magnetic.
It shifts way more smoothly after the oil change, emits no strange sounds.
Does anyone recognize the little discs? If so, are they harbingers of doom?
four shown, one is in the grass. you know how that goes...
Thanks,
