Unhappy Transmission Fluid Change

So I just finally got the transmission bolt off after about 3 days. its a 5sp w58... and my question is, when me and my brother got it off there was a bunch of silver gunk on the bolt (believe it's magentic) and when i rubbed it against my fingers i could feel shards of tiny metal pieces and it left sparkly pieces on my hands even after washing... is a little bit of this normal after over 100k? was told it was changed when i got the car but finally decided to change it anyways and the fluid is really really dirty... any ideas?

Yea, there will almost always be some metal shavings there, just make sure clean it up very well and if you can get a finger on the inside of the tranny see if you can scoop any more out. After that it should be good with new gear oil, if the previous oil was beat then the new oil will make a world of diffrence.

Make sure you change the rear diff as well, if its a open diff then you can use the same gear oil that goes into the tranny, if its a LSD then you have toget gear oil that has a LSD additive or get the additive and add it to a gear oil.

Good luck.

I believe it's not an LSD but will be getting to that today. I believe the guy who "changed" my fluids when my clutch was changed, air tooled the poop out of the reill bolt and drain plug. Took a good 4 hours to get the bolt off.... So it was too late for the diff.

Hey thanks alot! Took much weight of my shoulders


Oh and last night me and my bro both got our cars out, I used Royal Purple oil and it makes a world of difference.... We were speeding like bats out of hell, the ricers didn't know what to do! (he has a 75 dodge dart) haha, it was hilarious to toy with these kids....
