i dropped the tranny pan, i found a thin magnet that i can take off the pan. i understand this is normal but my magnet was covered in about an inch of silver grease. wats this about. is this normal? or is this how the magnet brakes down the shaving from the transmission. Need a responce ASAP. Thanks

Clean it off and put it back in the same spot it was in. It'* normal. Small particles wear and break down over time. This keeps them from circulating through the system.

thanks also that little sealing thing that comes with the filter kit that goes in the hole you plug the filter in first right because i cant find where else it would go on my old filter and i think the old one is stuck up in there

Carefully remove the old one by prying an edge without damaging the aluminum on the trans.
Use vice grips to grab it and yank straight down. Insert new seal, press filter up into it.
