Is it normal to find metal filings on the tranny dipstick? I had my '91 AOD tranny serviced for the first time about a month ago. There is no difference in the shifting but I'm worried about the amount of filings.
Thanks..
my first guess would be the needle bearing behind the sunshell, they are notorious for pitting. it may last a while, buta rebuild is in your future.
