Ah, you have the rusty tranny dipstick tube problem.

Those are rust flakes. I have them on mine too. Just makre sure you get the tube replaced or at least get your filter and fluid replaced sometime soon.

shouldn't he replace the dipstick too? hopefully prevent contamination? or not a huge deal?

Yea, he should if he wants to.

GM has released a revised dipstick that has a better seal that stops moisture from entering the tube.

But I heard this is one hell of an expensive repair though.

I am not to concerned about this seeing I check my tranny fluid every 3 months or so and the rust is very insignificant and won't get sucked into the tranny seeing the filter will stop it.

Just best to change the filter and ALL the fluid.

I just changed my fluid and this tranny is shifting like a dream again.

I suggest going to Jiffy Lube and getting the tranny fluid changed through one of the machines and THEN go to a shop to change the filter and pan fluid.

That way you have a clean slate.
