First tranny service

Chris.v · Jul 10, 2014

I just hit 57,000 km and got my tranny flushed with filters. They found some small shavings on this pad, anything to be concerned about? I feel it's probably ok, just wondering if anyone else is seeing anything similar?

Thanks
Chris

I'm not a transmission expert but do you pound the truck hard? Do you have a tuner any mods other than the stuff listed in your sig? Whats the trans temp run at? Usually metal shavings = bad but as I said I am no transmission expert. Somebody else more experienced will chime in soon.

Trans temp average around 185-190. Truck stays on street tune or tow tune on the mini maxx, truck has been deleted for 27,xxxk. I do not pound on the truck at all, I also have traction bars now.

As I said i'm no trans expert LOL. your trans temp seem normal as that's where my 6.7 runs at 180 - 190 give or take a few degrees.

I talked to a local trans expert, he told me not to worry about it, unless there was chunks. Was just looking for some reassurance from guys on here.

might be lucky and its only left over shaving from machining..

are they shavings or actual chunks?

Chris.v · Jul 11, 2014

Just shavings, no actual chunks. I highly doubt it's from the extra power or abuse, as there is guys on here running a heck of a lot more power on there stock transmissions. I could be wrong though. My transmission has been fantastic, feels solid and strong.

Small shavings like that one time on first service not a big deal they usually have magnets to catch little bits that make ther way through. Filter doin it's job. Metal is never good but I wouldn't worry about it. I recommend dropping the pan only in another 10,000 and checking the element again
