(1) I just removed the oil pan from my Cruise O Matic transmission and noticed that IN the oil pan there is a little steel plate, which was bend and broke when I toched it.
(2) I also noticed that an oil line was loose.
This is, acc. to page 4-31 of the shop manual, the "lubrication oil line to the pressure regulator".
(3) Also I found some small pieces of wire (diameter approx. 0,5 mm).
It looks like the small steel plate in the oil pan should prevent the lubrciation oil line from loosening itself.
Questions:
(1)- how should the steel plate in the oil pan look like? Upright, or bend?
(2)- is the lubrication oil line an (important) feeding line, or a (less critical) discharge line?
(3)- where could the small wire pieces come from and is this harmfull?
I have pictures but don't know how to glue them in the message.
thanks.
