91 t-bird auto trans |
|
|
A little piston or plunger and an o-ring was in the bottom of the auto trans
oilpan. No other hardware (springs, retainers, etc) were in the pan. The
plunger and o-ring was found before removing the filter. What are they and
where did they come from? Any help?

They are the remains of shipping plugs. During production the dip stick is |
installed after the transmission and body are mounted on the assembly line.
They live happily in the pan for years.

And it might also mean that since they are still there no one has ever dropped
the pan and changed the filter before you got there.

Nice point.
Let's see, that would be about 14 years with the same filter. Wonder if the
ATF is original?!!
