This is what it looks like inside your transmission when the torque converter fails completely. That buildup in the pan is metal debris from the converter. Once it starts coming apart, that material circulates through the transmission and causes more damage.

If your vehicle is slipping, shuddering, making noise, or the fluid looks dark and glittery, it is worth getting checked. By the time the pan looks like this, the transmission already needs a full rebuild.

Auto Trans M.D. in West Palm Beach specializes in transmission diagnostics, repairs, and rebuilds for cars, trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles.
