We got our biggest surprise after disassembling the forward clutch. Automatic transmissions use multiplate clutches made up of an alternating stack of steel plates and friction discs. In this photo, the top two pieces are friction discs and the bottom two are the steel plates. Note the wear pattern on all the pieces, especially the second friction disc. There should be no bare steel showing on any friction disc, and the steel plates should be smooth. The parts in this clutch were metal on metal. Now we know the source of the metal shavings in the filter. Fortunately, B&M's Transkit comes with new frictions and steels. Some rebuild kits just give you the friction discs. View Related Article
