Metal flakes in transmission filter

[steppinthrax]

So I changed the transmssion fluid in my 99 Camry (74K miles). It was a dark red when I changed it, and I was within the normal mileage limit for fluid change. I drained the differential & transmission fluid. Upon removing the filter I counted about 7 or 8 metal fakes in the filter screen??? Should I be worried. I imagine this is normal wear? The magnets were dirty (as usual) but no metal parts, or gear teeth were in the pan!!!

Pics? If if they were tiny flakes, I wouldn't worry about it.

Normal in an automatic.

Yup, normal ... now if you had chunks, then you'd have problems.
