Normally you would see that when the car is brand new.

Did you notice any big pieces about the size of a grain of rice ?

not really little small strips and i belive the tranny was rebuillt before i bought the car so maybe thats why, nothing really fat and long just small hair looking things, and what about underfilling will i notice it immediatly i tryed my hardest to pump all the fluid it needs it was on a lift too

You wouldn't notice the under filling right away. When I do mine ( rear diff and t case ) i fill it till over flows. Then go for drive and let everything warm up then check the again. It's very important these fluids were filled on level ground or preferably a lift.

Yea i did them on a lift until it poured out and it wanted to come out, and also when i opened the fill plug on the t-case fluid started pouring out for a while i wonder why?

Since I use a jack my car is always at an incline when I fill it. Therefore I fill till it starts leaking out the fill plug, and after it's finished leaking I put the plug back in.

that's fairly normal especially since it was probably rebuilt. you should see less and less during the next few fluid changes.

exactly what i use! best combo IMO. and egh the fragments of gear grinding that you have are a lot more than what i encounter but i flush my tranny every 10k miles because i bought the car with worn syncros but havent had a problem with grinding at high rpms using redline mt90 for the last 50k miles!!

did you use almost all 3 of the bottles??? also on my rear diff i usually pump until it starts to come out but its not much like .58 quarts and the transfer case holds little fluid as well like .53qts or something so just over a quart for the 2 combined. just gotta eye it really unless you do it often like me and remember how many pumps it is exactly
