Merc Dr. Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I ordered a solenoid kit. I went to install it and found this. If you have read my other topics you may remember that I replaced the torque converter a few months ago becuz it was flipping between 3rd and 4th gear. it worked for a couple months then started again. I just dropped the pan. The fluid looked good until I pulled the filter and saw fillings on the top. I cut it open and looked between the pleats. I assume this is metal. Or is it fiber from the clutch plates? I'm guessing either way it means it's rebuild time? http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/gallery/image/8294-20140613-173537/ http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/gallery/image/8295-20140613-174606/ http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/gallery/image/8296-20140613-174644/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Doesn't look good does it? I'm no expert but I would guess that it looks like it needs more than a fluid change. Signed on for expert opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Try a can of Sea Foam trans conditioner, a new filter, & top of with new GM's new Merc VI fluid. Might buy you some time before the "upcoming rebuild". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
