To get the most life out of the transmission you always want clean fluid circulating, so the magnetic is there to capture the ferrous metal particles.


😥 😐 awwww ok ....so put them back in

Well, it's good to have to any metal shavings don't float around in the fluid


The old trans fluid ...was kinda like a good ole cup of coffee with a splash of creamer


You're lucky it didn't burn out lol


I drove let's say 40 mins and like my 25 of the mins I smelled the smell and heard the rear end whinning


Is the rear diff still whining?


I'm not sure but I was Google ing about transmission smell and how I could tell if somethings wrong and it told me that you could hear the back of the car whining would be one of the signs

Glue the magnet from the outside of the pan. Better than nothing.

Not a good idea to glue the magnets from outside the pan...kind of a mickey mouse job in my opinion and it will definitely not help catch metal shavings effectively. Just take off the pan and put them back in, and refill with whatever fluid came out. Those magnets are very important.


Yeaaa I kinda figured that

Ok, because you checkmarking that answer makes it look like you agree with it.


What do you mean checkmarking ....and I was kinda seeing if it was ok if they where in there

The checkmark next to the answer is used to signify it "solved" your post. But now it looks like you or a moderator unchecked that answer. We would like it if the topic starters check the most helpful answer.
