ok gang...i need the trans experts to critique my auto trans magnet's findings. it's an 88 9KT with 186,000 miles with the original engine/trans combo...it runs fine...but has been shifting a bit harder this summer (not to bad yet). i figured i freshen up the trans fluid and this is what i found. the fluid was tired but not smelly...i've seen worse in my days.
the larger chunck is a thin shaving, while the other two stuck to the magnet are long strips (bands?) about 1/2 and inch long and 2mm wide. is the clock ticking to trans dooms day (although all saab trans are technically on the clock) or is this acceptable for a car with this milage.
as far as i can tell from the complete saab records from this one owner saab (i've had this one for two years) the trans fluid hasn't been changed since in about 100,000 miles!!!
