Borg Warner Solenoid

Hey guys I was having a problem that if i went around 76-80 mph on the freeway with my truck and came to a stop on the off ramp the trans would only down shift to 2nd gear. So last night I put in the Borg Warner drop in replacement and it seemed to work:hyper:. Now for the bad news, when I pulled the pan off the bottom of the pan was full of metal shavings:cry: My rebuild is about 2yrs old and when I had it done I put in the good red clutchs and it seems to shift fine with no slippage so well see what happends I hope she lasts:pray:

Is it actual shavings or more silt like residue? It is 100% normal for silt to accumulate and for the magnet to have iron silt on it. if it is chunky then there could be an issue developing.

Nothing to worry about, it is normal, most of it comes from the converter clutches and bands as these 2 are the most active clutch surfaces and do wear over time.
