New transmission...Again...

[BillionPa]

i believe only the 540 had lifetime fluid, standard ATF changes for other models is 30-50K depending on driving conditions... mines probably closer to 20K hehe.

HOWEVER.... the fact that there are so many shavings leads me to believe something along the driveline isnt balanced or in line with the tranny, and its pulling the input shaft in a direction other than straight on. double check the driveshaft and differential mounting hardware, as well as the engine mounts.

I realized the lifetime fluid thing too late. I guess I'll be paying for being asleep at the wheel...

I discussed your second point already as I too began feeling suspicious of other causes. My mechanic said he always check those things went he rebuilds and reinstalls a tranny so we'll have to wait and see...but thanks for pointing it out...

just learnt that one the hard way myself. full tranny rebuild underway as we speak. at least she'll be right for another 250k+ with regular oil changes. lifetime doesnt mean ****! best of luck.
