Exactly!

Drew & Watermelonhave hit it pretty much on the head.....and a new tranny is expected to see some minor shavings/trimmings off the gears. My rebuilt tranny was much the same in my Z26 and in my Dakota.....and both saw minor shavings after the first 15k (i was paranoid hehe).

Needless to say, like Drew stated, if its like that after your next checkup/refill, then I'd be worried. However, dont jump the gun too soon. If you are ultimately that concerned, take it and get it looked at now before the potential of a blown tranny.

 

You put ATF in a manual transmission? Where is the fill hole at on the transmission?

 

atf plus4 is the standard in the g56 trans no need to go further that is what the 56 came with

 

yea, the G56's take ATF, the fill hole is on the side, when it starts pouring out your full.

BTW, Nick, when I changed my axel fluid the first time there was a pant load of metal on the magnets, the last change had just a thin film.

 

After how many miles should I go before my Initial change?

 

not sure about the G56. . I do know the manual states the NV5600 is maintenance free(yea. . .right)

 

Yeah, I may be just a shade tree redneck mechanic, but I know that nothing is maintenance free.

 

AZ...My owners manual said to do it at 60K miles. Which is what mine has on it.

I don't know if it's my imagination or what, but it seems to be a little quieter and smoother shifting today after changing the fluid. I think I'm still gonna change it after another 10K miles just to see what that magnet looks like.I know I'm gonna do the transfer case more often, the fluid in it was darker than the trans fluid was. Good thing there isn't a magnet in it or I'd be a nervous nelly over that too.

 

I dunno but on my new truck i'm prolly gonna do it every 20k miles and the first at 15k. IMO it's the same as gear lube for rear diffs which you do every 15k. so IMO do it every 15-20k

 

yeah it all depends on how many filings were in there. thats why theres the magnet. just like in the diffs. the plus side without the magnet that crap would still be floating around in there.
