aleinxyu Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 i was changing my tranny filter today and got everything put back together take it for a test drive and it shifts smoother and seems to actually give it a bit more power. but when i got back and start cleaning everything up i found this http://mysite.verizon.net/aleinxyu/piece.jpg i'm not sure where it came from but it wasn't in the drain pan until i droped the old filter. like i said everything shifts smooth and it feels a lot better i'm just worried this might be an important piece.

Q-Ball Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 No idea. I recently had mine changed too. It does shift nicer too. But in my filter, it was pretty clean. Just a very little bit of dirt in there. I'd be worried about that being in there. Could you take it to a shop and ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleinxyu Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 i guess i could take it to a shop just wondering if anyone had any idea, i heard something else and i'm wondering if anyone else hears it when the car goes into gear r, od, d, 2, 1, i hear a whine. maybe the pump is just getting better flow now? anywho thanks for the help. the car is still covered by the place i bought it from for 3 more weeks so if the pump does go out it should be covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleinxyu Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I believe that would be called the "thermo-element" and yes, I would say it's rather important. alright, it's just a thin piece of metal thats rather flemsy and weak, do you have any idea as to where it goes? i have a 97 monte carlo z34. i wish my stupid haynes was in i feel like an idiot.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Drop the pan, and filter, and you should see where it goes. http://members.aol.com/regal231/xmission.htm There is a picture in Ben's Wright up that shows where it is.
