Well, when I dropped the oil out of the transmission that's currently in my truck I ran a magnet into the drain hole and gave it a quick check. The magnet came out with plenty of sludge as well as 2 needle bearings. So I'm pretty confident I have a "time bomb" on my hands and sure it'll give up the ghost at the most un-opportune time out in the middle of "No-where" and no cell phone reception.

I'm going to hook up with the guy that's selling the other transmission in an hour or so and see if I'm in luck and can change out transmissions this week end , then I'll get started re-doing the one that's in there now.
