Beware I am a newbie with transmissions...but before I put my car away for the winter this year I had to change the trans fluid and noticed LOTS of black powder looking stuff around the trans magnet...cleaned it all out and changed the fluid...a month later i had to change the fluid again because i changed the tcc solenoid...well i again noticed more black powder but not as much as last time but still enough...
now i have heard that this is time for a rebuild...is my trans really THAT bad? the trans is stock with no shift kit installed to my knowledge...it has 85k miles on it...i mean the trans still shifts pretty firm with no slippage...i have never had problems with my trans shifting...also i have had a trans cooler on the trans the car's entire life...is this just normal at around this mileage and will this thing hold up for a couple runs this year at the track with my mods???
