Automatic Transmission Unit: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL PAN SUB-ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the magnets, and use them to collect steel particles.
2. Carefully look at the foreign matter and particles in the pan and on the magnets to anticipate the type of wear you will find in the transmission.
  - Steel (magnetic): bearing, gear and clutch plate wear
  - Brass (non-magnetic): bushing wear
