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..
Thanks..

anything on the tranny dipstick that is not tranny fluid is not good.....Save a seal, club a liberal. -
any amount of metal is not a good thing.
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.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011
