Exclamation Metal Chunk found in pan!!!!! *PICS*
These are pics of a chunk of metal I found in the pan while I was replacing my shift solenoids in my stage 5 4L60E. I know this is probably bad so do I need to have it looked at by a professional.

did you use a screw driver or a prying tool to remove the pan, you might have broken a little pice of the case

Default Pic of metal
Thats looks like a piece of aluminum form the input drum. What did the pan look like inside. A lot of black fine materal?
