Had the transmission serviced, Bad news
Well, I had my transmission serviced at the dealer yesterday. I ask to have a flush and the new Dextron VI put in it with a new filter. When I was picking my car up today they gave me a piece of plastic they said was in the pan. They called it a thrust washer and said it was from fourth gear. It was only a small piece of it. They said they only went ahead and changed the filter and replaced the six quarts that was needed. That it would be a wast to flush it because of what they found. They said that it may last a while longer or not but to take it easy on the car. The funny thing is it still drives like the day I bought it. I would have never guessed it's getting ready to break. That really sucks because This has been my favorite car.
Here is a picture of the piece out of the pan.

Re: Had the transmission serviced, Bad news
This may have been the best thing that could have happened. If you had flushed a transmission with that many miles you may have destroyed it with the flush. That piece of plastic may have been there for a long time. Keep on driving to see what happens. I bet you won't have any problems with the car. Besides if you have 250K on the clock you have gotten your money's worth out of the transmission.
