HI All.

I removed the valve body. the fresh new fluid which I filled recently did not look fresh. there was a fair amount of black residue sititng on top of the filter and also on top of the valve body.

Then I looked at the underside of transmission with valve body removed and saw the following. see foto.

on one of the bands the lining is loose and moves. I push it slightly so I could take a foto.

what does this mean?, the band is toast, which band is this?

is this the cause of my problems of not changing into number 3?

your comments is appreciated.

regards
C
