New tranny in my near future?

Did some work on my GTP over the weekend. Dropped the tranny pan to put in a TransGo shift kit. Everything went well except that the pan looked to have metal shavings in it, those are the brown specs you see in the pan in the photos below. The shaving resemble snowflakes, and appear to be rusty. Before cleaning the pan, I tried to scoop up a larger pile of these shavings, which resulted in me smearing the pile. After cleaning the pan, I noticed that the pan is scratched up where that smear mark was. Is that the result of steel shavings scratching a aluminum pan? Also, the fluid looked rather brown and burnt.

Trans is 10 years old. Bought re-built at that time from Jasper Engines.

 


thats not horrible looking really. why theres a magnet, to catch stuff.

my brothers truck had a golf ball size mound of clutch material on the magnet. its still working fine years later now.
 
Ok Ok. Good to know. I had an 2000 Accord Coupe V6 with 200,000 miles (all mine), where the trans slipped so hard it could snap your neck! But it never actually broke. Sold it like that. So based of what you said, and my experience, there is some hope. This here though was my first pan drop, so not sure how to gauge the interior case damage by the crap that's collected. Kinda like reading tea-leaves or something, lol.

I'm hoping that the shift kit doesn't contribute to an early death as well. From the research I have done it shouldn't, it should give the trans new life. This is what I gathered about the TransGo kit. That it's more of an upgrade of stock parts vs. a real performance shift kit like Intense or Thrasher...
 
thats a good kit, you'll feel it. the faster shift makes the clutches last longer, factory settings let the shifts slip so the shift is smoother.

My car shifts about 2 seconds between gears. Is that normal? Would the transgo make that 1 or less than 1 second?
