*Update* Does my tranny pan magnet look normal?
Just dropped the pan (what a bitch) and the fluid looked decent but I am not sure if the amount of material on my magnet is acceptable, or even what it could be from. The fluid looked and smelled fine by the way.
Also, this is after 2 years of pretty hard abuse on a fresh built tranny. Never change fluid or filter since it was built

Well about a week ago, my lockup got pretty soft. It felt almost like a stock converter locking up. I am used to hard and fast lockup with this converter. I didn't think anything of it until I left work the next night and got on the highway. It locked up soft again and then when I would give it any more than half throttle, the converter clutch would slip about 2-300 rpm. It has NEVER done this before, and it has been in there for almost 2 years now. Nothing in the tranny tables has been changed for a long time either.

That's normal. Most comes from the first couple thousand miles after manufacture or rebuild since the clutches are breaking in. If you change it at regular intervals you'll notice it's much less with the 2nd change then it'll be fairly constant after that. My 05 has a little over 90k miles and i change it every 30k, the last two changes didn't have near as much clutch mud as the 1st one.
