is it normal to have some clutch material stick to the magnate? i bought one with 90k from the junkyard and it still had burned fluid like mine. i am gonna swap it out again for another.

 

not for a "90k" trans. yea i would swap it for another.

 

ok, so when you drain the fluid nothing should be on the magnet and if their is its screwed?

 

There will ALWAYS be stuff on the magnet, but the "burned" fluid is a bad sign.

 

ok, so SOME stuff will be there when you drain and fill? what about the grey clutch material? if it don't have burned fluid, and has that, is that good?

 

he is talking about the grey material on the magnet. a bad sign is burnt fluid and/or metal shavings.

 

ok, so this car was totaled out and rearended and the trans had 60k on it. i drained the fluid it looked cleaner on the dibstick but it was dark red when drained and didn;'t smell burned. how do you drain the t.c and how do you remove the shift cable from behind the converter? their was little metal flakes w. grey color on the magnet but i didn't note any chunks in the fluid. is this one junk too? i think these cars are just peices of junk period! lol

 

It sounds like it should be OK. The only way to know for sure is to put it in a car and drive it. The seller has a guarantee on it, right?

 

yea it has a 90 day warrenty. but if it has metal flakes and friction matrial on the magnet, it isn;t gona last too long. is that right? also how do you remove the (turbine mainshaft speed sensor) and i wana drain the t.c converter.

 

The torque converter doesn't just slide out?
