So, I changed my tranny fluid today and found...

A tooth from one of the gears stuck to the magnetic drain plug. I will have pictures of it up tomorrow when I have more time to upload them. The funny part is the transmission has been acting 100% normal since I bought the car and completed my new GT35R setup. So, there is aboslutely no telling how long it has been stuck to the drain plug. Good thing I decided to change the drivetrain fluids today I guess .

Maybe it was just a baby tooth and the permanent one grew back in.

Big difference between wear metals and a broken tooth, if that is what it was..

It was def. a tooth! You can cleary see the machined edge of what used to be the tooth of a gear. The amount of metal shavings that came out in the fluid caused that fluid to appear army green. I'm not looking forward to what the shop finds . I will hopefully have pictures of the tooth up tonight.
