Just Changed My Tranny Filter And Installed New Pan Gasket At 60,000 Miles And When I Was Cleaning Out Pan And Magnet I Found A Large Part Of A Shim Maybe From The Rear Planet Support Assembly,etc. Stuck To The Magnet.it Is 3 1\4 Inches In Width And A Little Over Half Complete.i Did Read That Ford Was Adding A Shim\spacer Due To Wear Prolems.the Tranny Seems To Work And Shift Fine But I Am A Little Concerned About The Above.can This Piece Be Replaced Without Taking The Tranny Out Of The Car?any Help Or Info On Above Would Be Appreciated. Thanks

I wish I could help you out but I don't know about the shim.
Where did you read about it?
I would like to read up on that

Thanks
