Pretty flipping huge, unpublished issue, wouldn't you say?
I'm only glad they didn't start tearing my tranny apart. So, now I have a fresh start, a newtransmission, and hopefully one that has been rid of the unknown failure.

this is not uncommon that GM hides failures from the vehicle owners...and other repair/mechanics that service these vehicles..torque converter failure is most likely your problem which leaves metal in filter area..what is the residue discription ???
