Is this normal?
I finally got time to drop the transmission pan on my 94. I was expecting a lot worse!
The oil was kinda brown, it's been a while lol, and a bit foul-smelling. But I didn't really find a lot of shavings in the pan....unless you guys tell me that's a lot of shavings??
Also, I used 6.5 quarts from just dropping the pan...is that normal?

Well the tranny was starting to act up right after warm up...I would loose overdrive (works fine the first 5-10 minutes) and the lower gear shifts would happen at higher speeds. I tfor a drive after the oil change but didn't go on the highway. The shifts were nice and smooth, even after it was warm. I will take it out tomorrow to see if I have overdrive. But so far it shifts way smoother.

Thanx man...I didn't think it was all that bad for a truck with 160000 miles on it with very ''light'' maintenance done to the tranny. (Light being oil was changed only once )

I looked at a few oils and they felt very liquid compared to the Mobil....
