I wish I had taken a picture before I put it back on but it was mostly around the rim where I was cleaning it with the wire wheel. I did notice that i could scrape a couple small flakes off the bottom of the pan if i scratched it with my finger nail hard enough, but none came off while wiping it...

Thanks for you info guys, I have order a new plug, washer and pan. I will try replacing the plug first and see what happens, then if the pan really is stripped I will replace it. I will take a look at the paint as well and see if any more has flaked off since I have been driving it.

Ok awesome thanks for the info! I will look at restoring the thread first and see if I can get away with just a new plug and crush washer. You don't think the paint chipping on the inside of the pan could present issues with the transmission?

Follow up question, lol. Does the transmission draw its fluid through the strainer only or is there another path to the internals from the pan. Just curious if the strainer should catch most of the paint flakes before gumming up the internals. I understand that the blocked strainer could be just...

I have the same issue just not as bad as OP. I recently replaced the OEM filter and stripped the drain plug on re installation. Drain plug is tight for now but I have order a new pan partly because of the paint and also the stripped bolt. Am I ok to run it until the parts arrive with regards to...

Maybe this will be helpful to somebody else. Had this issue as well right after replacing my starter so I didn't think that could be the issue. Initially thought it was a bad relay in the fuse box under the hood. Jumpered the starter relay and managed to get it to turnover. (I believe there is...

+1 for the Falken Wildpeak AT3, Just got a set put on FJ cruiser alloy rims. Can't really speak to the longevity but they seem to be very good value and look good as well.

While I was cleaning the old gasket off the wire wheel removed most of the black paint around the edges of the pan. Also i noticed that a small amount of paint could be scratched off of the inside of the pan. Is this normal for a transmission of this age or should I look to replace the pan? I am...

Sorry to reopen an old thread but I wasn't able to post my own yet. I recently dropped my pan and replaced filter with OEM. I stripped my drain plug but it is holding, I have new washer and bolt on order. I also noticed that the paint on the interior of my pan was flaking a bit. Is this normal...

When I was having issues with clunking I greased all the joints underneath (which it sounds like you did but just in case there are some good posts that outline where everything is and which grease to use as well as how to grease the slip yokes safely). The clunking continued for awhile after...

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this but I recently started this job and I have to say Tims video and all the info on this thread was very helpful. Dropped the pan and found out I ordered the wrong filter but did some more research and with the help of ebay pics I managed to match the...
