Unhappy Tranny woes?

OK....I'm gettin ready to leave for the Xpedition Expedition & my hubby just changed the tranny fluid....He brought the pan to me to look at & the magnet has a crapload of gooey metal stuck to it, not just a little, but A LOT!!! "Uh-oh" I said....hopefully it's not a big deal, but it sure looks like it. Thank goodness I still have a warranty on it. What do you guys think, is this very serious??

I just hope it dosen't go on the trip, that would surely suck bad.

Anyway, the rain is on down there, it'll be raining all night tonight, so mudholes look out, cuz here we come!!

I'm leaving in a few minutes!!

Don't worry too much. There are a lot of parts in a transmission which will produce metal shavings over time. Have fun on your trip.
