    Gold flakes in transmission fluid.

    meh, its not good but def not the worst ive seen come out of a trans. looks like a couple pieces may be actual "chunks" while the rest of it looks like flakes? chunks are worse than flakes...flakes arent good either, its an indication that a bearing/race is trying to erode. is that all that...
