Transmission replacment questions?

Arctic_fox said: ↑

Oh i know its a stop gap until i can afford to transition to a 6nz. My current engine has been having issues...nothing critical yet but i can tell its coming. So i was going to do a full long block swap (namely full engine in paccar terms) as soon as i can get one and have it set to either 510 or 485 at time of order. So mid term plan is just do a like for like swap that i can get done for $36k installed including the non standard modification.....which funnily enough is only 6k more then a platinium rebuild anyway.

In the meantime though my transmission is my main concern.

I understand that. The reason why im concerned is the first time i had the fluid changed i had a LOT of shavings in the pan. second time 100k later there was more in the pan then at 500k and bb sized peices as well this last time there were cornflake sized peices and more material overall including dust then the last 2 times combined.....thats usually a good sign somethings not right.

Is it making noises? Vibrating, hard to get into gear? Unless it sounded like a bearing was going I would run with it. Some remans just change out what's worn, so the tranny is still 600k unit or 1.2 million mile unit.
