Dropped trans pan... what I found...

.... just some very, very fine ferrous material on the magnetic drain plug. About the size of a large pea and looked like and had the consistency of never seize. Nothing else. I was pleasantly surprised. Installed new filter and was surprised the two mounting points were torx head bolts... thankfully I was able to find the right size. Cleaned the pan and gasket, reinstalled and torqued pan bolts to 17 n-m, filled with about 8 quarts of ATF+4 and good to go. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be...
