If you cleaned the pan and the magnet tje last time you dumped the trans fluid, and now after only travelling maybe a few hundred kms(?) you have some particles on the magnet, I’d think something is stuffed internally.

Those particles would be from the slipping you’re experiencing. Any uncontrolled slip will cause massive localised temperature spikes which burn the fluid and burn the band material and it could even start to gaul the metal on the drum itself.

Isn’t looking good at the moment but you never know :rolleyes:
