Pulled the transmission pan and changed the filter on the 47re tranny and found a piece of metal in the bottom of the pan. Looks like it is part of a snap ring. Any idea where that piece of metal comes from?


Also the transmission that does not shift properly into third gear, i.e. the transmission shifts normally into first and second, but shifts only momentarily into third and then into overdrive. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks for your help.

 

Prepare for a new tranny.

 

Off hand, OD clutch retainer snap ring. Could be the reason for the fast shift to OD. Either way, time to pull the trans and go thru it before it totally grenades.

 

Dang, I had brass shavings in mine and decided it was time for a rebuild. With a piece of a snapring floating around in there id diffently pull the trans.
