"There be gold im them thar pan!"
Well I swaped a turbo 350 in place of the 200c "amazingly it acutaly droped highway rpm down a few hundred 
" well anyway i figured i would through a new filter and fluid into the 200c and sell it for 300$ I pulled the pan and there was gold leafs "im assuming bronze" Im thinking its from the sprag??? I never serviced this transmition just got the car a few months ago and the fluid wasent too bad just in the "needs changing catagory", there wasent very much crap in the pan considering there isnt a magnet in the 200c's and the filter was fairly clean. The transmition shifted fine"78000 miles on the car" the only problem was the converter lockup was disabled because I yanked the computer.
Any suggestions on what that bronze might be?
I just dont want some retard that i sell it to coming back and saying i sold him a bum transmition.
Thanks SSC

sounds like you got a thrust washer comming apart, that is the only thing made of bronze except the bushings. Did you drive it hard, or launch it alot?

"But no I never drove it to hard only a couple of times I held the pedal down and it shifted to 3rd at 75 but that was in drive not bang shifting, I never launched the transmition "even in a race at the track I would never do this to any car" "That aint my bag baby, yea" but God knows what the guy thats owned it before me did 2,300 miles ago.
If the thrust washer is going south how many more miles "typicly" can the tranny go? There were 2 pices of "?washer?" one about the size of a dime and thinner than paper and the other the size of a fingernail clipping also thinner than paper. If i can sell this tranny and thw new owner can atleast get 20,000 miles out of it i'll be happy.

Go any guess on what the life expectancy might be if its just starting to go?

Next project, retrofit the primary propultion system from the ufo that didn't crash at Roswell into my camaro.
