The Burning Rom Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I finally changed the tranny fluid on my 90 LE, since it did hit 122k last week. The fluid stunk like a mofo when I drained it. The strange thing is, when I pulled the pan off there was no magnet on it...anywhere. I checked the pan full of fluid with my hand (not a fun thing ), and it wasn't in there either. Did the 90s even have that magnet stuck on the pan? I wasn't sure, so I went and pulled a magnet out of a wrecked 4T60e I have. I was just curious if the old one maybe got lost somewhere in my transmission...or maybe the fluid was changed before....or if it just isn't supposed to have one. :shock: Anyone know?

patgizz Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 the magnet is just a little thin pad, is that what you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91GranSport Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I think all of GM's automatic trannies have a magnet. Sheeeeeit, back when I worked at Mr.Lube doing tranny flushes and tranny fluid changes I never came across a vehicle that didn't have a magnet! Just throw on any decent magnet in your tranny pan. That's what I'd do. I finally changed the tranny fluid on my 90 LE, since it did hit 122k last week. The fluid stunk like a mofo when I drained it.

The Burning Rom Posted August 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 the magnet is just a little thin pad, is that what you are referring to? Yup..that's what I'm referring to. My transmission didn't have one in when I pulled the pan off. I don't know where it went. Good thing I had that dead tranny there for parts.
