I came across a 05 60e that is said to have 73k.. so i took the pan off to do some up grades before installing it in my 00 hoe. I found this in the pan...i know some gray sludge is common but it was about 3/8" (guess).build up on magnet and a few small metel pieces (picture)on magnet. I assume it is a piece of clutch material?
I don't know enough about these to make decisions...install or bring back?

 

Another picture of a piece

 

Any one else experience this ?

 

Stuff it in should be fine if you believe the guy was honest with 70k mi

 

ya,,he seemed to be pretty decent guy..he told me he would give me 30 day money back or swap for another guarantee. plus he called me shortly after i sent him a text he about my concern.
thanks for your thoughts gonzo 6.2

 

Guy sounds straight up.New filter of course,number 1 thing people F-up is the converter isnt all the way in when bolting it up.Have you pulled the old one out yet?

 

You get it for decent price ? what up grades you mentioned? its a fair amount of shitin the pan,seen worse but I would run it.The guy claims it worked excellent right?

 

yep..putting in a new filter, performance pack from sonnax, vette servo/sonnax 4th, HD 2-3 valve. i put a straight edge across the front of the bell housing and measured the distance of the converter.. ya this morning i took the old one out. was going to install the mentioned parts tonight but got a little worried about what i seen

 

he did say it worked..though he could only put it throught the gears and give it some throttle... the front of the truck it came from was to f-up to drive

 

400 for it
