Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Ordered and rec'd the Mag-Hytec transmission cover from www.woodlawnrv.com (if i've got the address wrong, it's in a different post from about 3 weeks ago) was 169+12(shppg)

Got adventurous last PM and installed my new MagHytec transmission cover. Went on with only 2 hitches---
1. Late-year 12-valve '98's still used the same internal transmission filter as model year '97, so had to go back to parts place for exchange. (took about an hour, counting jumpstarting the *gag* Olds Silhouette)
2. my temp sender, in the output line, was angled just exactly wrong for pan clearance. Needed to be rotated about 45*, so I hope it doesn't leak, now.
Other than the simple messiness of that undrainable stock pan, that was the only difficulty.
Went on easy enough once those details were dealt with, and looks good under there. (only clean item under the truck

)
Observation/Question:
there looked like a lot (to me) of shavings in the old pan--it's been on for about 25-30K, and that may be a normal amount for that amount of time, but it looked like a lot to me. (5-7 grams, estimated, mostly stuck to magnet, but a little looked like aluminum and just a couple of flakes that looked more like bronze/brass) I'll bring it to my guru to ask his evaluation, but what's your first impression?
