Fuzzy magnet?

[Younger1993]

5R110 torqshift 6.0L 2006 >>>When i dropped the pan to swap all 7 solenoids, i went to clean the pan, and the magnet was completely fuzzy with metal shavings and what not. any ideas?? is this normal for 160k truck? (regularly serviced) Oh and i could only get 6 solenoids, the Contol pressure one was blocked by wiring harness, which i couldnt manage to get out, so i just left the old one in. any ideas how to get that out too?

is the trans working fine? if so when was the last time you looked at the magnet?

looked like this?

I bought it used with 155k, I also am running a XS tune from eric...but he said you shouldnt be having tranny issues with that tune and recommened to swap the solenoids if your shifts are hanging.

Jarrod>> the magnet's shavings had very very very fine shavings, like a grit, all my solenoids had just a tiny tiny film on them (looks similar to pencil lead over-brush on paper), I just want to know if I spent 1000 bucks for nothing...and about to lose the clutch pack or something (idk much about this stuff)

yep thats the same as the pic. ver very fine shavings like wet pencil graphite power

Normal wear and tear, unless there was way more than that picture showed.

From the clutch paks but not excessive by what I see.
