Default Dropped the Trans Pan....

Here are some pics of if. The magnet seemed clean (as far as no actual metal shavings or anything) but when we moved our finger on the bottom of the pan this is what we found (look normal?) (pic 1). Trans fluid seemed fine in color and everything. There were some dark patch's but nothing too out of the ordinary. So what you guys think. Everything look/sound ok?

looks mostly normal...I would drop te pan again in a few weeks and check again. that stuff is probably just real fine metal shaving and such. Wouldn't hurt to check it again.

How many miles on the car and if you know, how many miles since a fluid / filter change or flush? What you show is about what I had on my 100k A4.

That is normal, even when I am working on the 4l80's with 30..40+ thousand miles of normal/hard driving. Just clean the pan out good, change filter and fluid and you should be fine. Aslong as you don't see actual shavings or hard pieces.
