While changing the trans fluid and filter in my 2007 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4, I came upon a disturbing finding. I got the truck last year with I think 26,000 miles and changed the trans fluid when I got it with Mercon 5 and the appropriate filter. I generally change the trans fluid and filter at every 24,000 miles which is under the recommended 30,000 miles. If there was a way I could post pics on here I would show everyone them or if anyone wants to, they can email me and I can forward the pics to you.

 

you can upload them to your gallery or use a phote hosting site like photobucket

 

ok, pics added to my gallery. input appreciated.

 

i found some in my trans pan about that same size, i have pics of them in my gallery.

 

Thats why the magnets there to catch those clutch fragments. Pretty normal I think..

 

I found the gallery and looked at the photos. I don't see any chunks.
