So i put my new mag-hytech trans pan on and i found a piece of metal stuck to the magnet in the stock pan. It was about 2" long and arched, as if it was part of a circular clip.

Anyways where do i begin with a trans rebuild. I know i want to use garmon, but i wanted to get a few opinions on what i actually need to buy. I pull a toy hauler about 8 times a year. Want to build my truck with a bigger turbo and maybe up to 90's eventually. The trans feals tight still. So where do i begin? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard of an overdirve retainer clip breaking, apparently everything still works but you don't want to run too long like that.

Call Garmon, they are a good company and will gladly talk to you about your rebuild.

Yeah apparently it's an OD retainer clip, somewhat common. I was told by a few not to worry about it? I could be wrong, but if you're planning on building it anyway, why not see how long this one lasts?

I found the same piece in mine, about 1.5 inches long. Its been on my dresser....for well over a year now! Maybe two! And I tow hard with my truck all summer, and plow hard all winter. I was told to leave it be, when the rest of the clip goes it goes and you'll loose reverse or OD or something. But so far so good. I just knocked on wood, btw.

I have had this happen and spent the money to have mine rebuilt with all new hard and soft parts and installed a shift kit with a triple disk converter. Money well spent and a better piece of mind. Only reason I rebuilt is that I need the piece of mind when traveling with family. If it were only me I can handle my own but the family needs to be riding a well built machine. The only thing I need is to have my tranny break loose on a decent at 7% grade while pulling doubles.
