ok- dropped the pan-took off the old tranny filter. grabbed the new filter and grabbed the old one again to double check the way it goes on and a big round washer,maybe magnet fell off of the old filter!!! did that come out of the old filter?? or do i need to install that thing somewhere??? help!

 

The magnet was supposed to be stuck to the stock pan.
Since the Hytech is aluminum it won't stick, would move around and probably break up.
Not sure on the Hytech but my deep pan has a magnetic drain plug, no need for the ring.

 

MH has a magnet on the plug also.

You are fine.

 

thanks guys. i removed it. the magnet must of been stuck to the top of the tranny filter and i did not notice it until i picked up the old filter out of the pan.
