Mark,
I routinely change the ATF on all my (older) Saabs. Probably 15 times in all.
There is ALWAYS enough metal on the magnet to turn a paper towel quite black over a half a square inch. Or, perhaps, an amount the size equal to, say, 1/2 a green pea. This after 10k to 20k, on average.
Sounds like you have more than this?
I've never seen more than this, but there is always something! And a little disturbing, I agree!
Since there is no filter, it's not surprising to get metals building up in the fluid.
I've gone so far as to add an additional rare earth magnet to the outside of the plug after I tighten it in place. Why not? Works well on the surface of the oil filter too!
It' amazing how much metals you get.
Craig
