I have a 3 inch dia. speaker magnet on the bottom of the transmission pan...this is in addition to the internal one..
this exterior magnet does the same thing and will cause the magnetic debris to be held...
any metal flowing through the torque converter will eventually damage it...
usually at your mileage you should not have a great amount of debris at the pan....
what transmission fluid do you use and how many miles between changes??
